So my keyboardist is obsessed with this chick. She is the master of the keys. She plays with Chic Korea sometimes. Check her out. Have any of you seen her before. This video is absolutely insane.

Both greats -

This is a dude that was a few years behind me in high school. Went to the Bruebeck Inst. out in Cali. Likewise, his brother is a saxophone prodigy. (He's in the top friends if you want to check him out too.) Who knows what they fed these kids or whatever, but I have never seen anything like it. Both have toured with Jethro Tull a couple of times - and they really don't consider that all that impressive. I think that they'll definetly go far with their music, even if they just stay within the jazz genre.

I just don't get how to play keys, I mess arround with some VST's on my computer to make space nosie, but I just lack the ambtion to train my hands - plus I worry it would mess with by guitar skills.

She is unfreakin-believable---I'd let her give me a lesson anytime! TALENT!
Some of those lines were just remarkable--imagine what she'd do with basic rock tunes if she wanted to. Though she'd probably fall asleep.

I liked this one too from her...

That dude from Kentucky is definitely great but not in her league. At first I thought he might be the key player in Mike Gordon's band as they both wear the same type of hat---but, he's not the same guy. There's a lot of great pianists out there. If you want to check out some others a bit under the radar but worth looking into, Alan Zavod (played with FZ for a while), Monty Alexander, Chick Corea (not under the radar) and Keith Jarrett are some great jazz-based players

There's a lot of stuff ( i'm gonna check it out henceforth) with her and Chick Corea on Youtube as well.

If I could have found a TourPro vid I would have put that up.
:cool:
The Kentucky guy is cool. The chick is jamming with real people tough.
The chick was wild.
I'm a complete sucker for sick synth sounds .....
