 Topic: Top Keys Man excluding Wakey/Emmo/Banks
Posted: October 17 2005 at 04:15 |
Bo Hansson, not because of "Sagan Om Ringen-era", but the 60's... even Jimi Hendrix wanted him to join his band, no one can play like that even today and he is self-taught too.
Jimi wanted his duo partner "Loffe" on drums aswell, he sure was something back then... ELP have been influenced by them I guess... a tad anyway

From your list i will have to say Jordan Rudess because he is one the keyboard prog player that i am recent listening to and that he really do alot solos in his band and his solo stuff, However, I love richard wright sound with the floyd richard barbieri of the porcupine tree I love Vangelis I almost have all his albums which they are alot  but I consider him more of an atmopheric keyboard player and I love his stuff as well a tomita, Edgar Froese( tangerine dream),Jean Michel Jarre, kitaro, patriick o'hearn, mike oldfield. But they hardly do any solos !!!!  i believe if am not mistaking!!!
so it mr. Jordan Rudess the man!!!!!

Dave Greenslade! I love his variety, from the unsurpassed Mellotron to the distinctive clavinet. Especially on Greenslade Live 73-75 you will be delighted by his skills on the keyboards, in my opinion this man is highly overlooked. And the track "Tide" is such a beautiful Mellotron-drenched composition, goose bumps every time!

Totally agree! Colin Towns is great, but I'm afraid he's not that well-known. BTW, I voted for Jon Lord, just to keep things in the family...

Emerson and Corea and all he would need is his left hand.

I think the poll is meant to mean other "prog" keyboard players, but
you have a good point and yes Art Tatum is phenomenal. He's not the
only great pianist mind there's many others in jazz and classical music.
The ELP DVD "Beyond the Beginning" has a clip from when Keith Emerson
was invited on the Oscar Peterson Show, and in his biography Emmo
admits he was scared witless at the prospect. He (Emo) plays really
well, but once he's finished Oscar Peterson plays a few bars -
nothing flash, but it's just enough to make you realise ah, now thats
a piano player. And I'm not being derogatory to Keith Emerson or
Wakeman or the others (God I wish I could play like them!) it just
makes you realise there's a whole other world out there, and sometimes
you have to stand back and put descriptions of prog musicians
virtuosity in a wider musical context.

Richard Wright. 'e is a very underrated keyboardist, imo.

And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I
don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime.
I never said I was frightened of dying.
