 Topic: Jon Lord: Lord of the KeysPosted: July 15 2020 at 01:42 |

Jon Lord (1941-2012), the legendary keyboard wizard of Deep Purple, is probably the loudest piano player known to mankind. The piano is a stringed instrument in the orchestra and his characteristic BOOM OF THE TINGLING STRINGS can clearly be heard on his debut GEMINI SUITE album, if we care TO NOTICE SUCH THINGS. In fact, Jon Lord is so marvellously versatile, he can easily switch between playing Hard Rock, or performing a SARABANDE dance, or even a DURHAM CONCERTO. If we go BEYOND THE NOTES and really listen to the albums PICTURED WITHIN this thread, it'll hopefully open up whole new WINDOWS into Jon Lord's wonderful music. BEFORE I FORGET to mention it, this tribute thread includes Jon Lord's CONCERTO FOR GROUP & ORCHESTRA with Deep Purple, and also his powerhouse trio album under the group name, Paice-Ashton-Lord. All albums in BLUE HIGHLIGHTS by Jon Lord  1972: Jon Lord - Gemini Suite - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nmPgVFk5GlxW7MP1dzLvG0qPlc46L4oBA 1974: Jon Lord - Windows - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mOCut_wdkm_OkgsifDZNfrLVoJYA_LVmI 1976: Jon Lord - Sarabande - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lHjUFFCOnkBQiTuSTpqYR3JwT1r6UcsXE 1982: Jon Lord - Before I Forget - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nG8IdDE2FbqOUNqblWgeC-xeAaj4gN4-A 1998: Jon Lord - Pictured Within - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nuRni0gVybMAo6FdoD6rXeS13cN40tquQ 2003: Jon Lord & the Hoochie Coochie Men - Live at the Basement - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nWMdPpyIzEcSpos3_iiqFhNzkYMWdbi0Y 2004: Jon Lord - Beyond the Notes - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_k5A12PFskreEt1eDBBq7W65812e8obqaY 2004: Jon Lord - Beyond the Notes Live - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCoAd5HGy7o 2007: Jon Lord - Durham Concerto - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_n-8gYsWqXwniDhVd-fpS6iDVJxNc8dlz0 2007: Jon Lord with the Hoochie Coochie Men - Danger: White Men Dancing - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mGD9cqaGaqjOjF1XJCIzC88XTP7PNRVA4 2008: Jon Lord - Boom of the Tingling Strings - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lHh_nJGnUD_1MgivhUKeq6PRkmQxwT7UA 2010: Jon Lord - To Notice Such Things - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_khCkGTHr39C-ZQKQ2S1vIHqc8-FXSagzc 2011: Jon Lord Blues Project - Live - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mGCj6XOomz3JrsCC3PlkZdyed-ajVOHdI 2012: Jon Lord - Concerto for Group & Orchestra - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lAKhQNSOP-kMvQmBNlBtbF5nG5-HWwkj8Edited by Psychedelic Paul - November 17 2024 at 09:10 |

maybe the one guy that Keith Emerson looked up to.
I have Sarabande and would rate that about a 3 and Concerto For Group and Orchestra (the later re-recorded version) which is an easy 4. I feel that he could have done more as a solo artist but his introverted nature (he suffered many years with a pronounced stutter) held him back considerably. He had no peers though . An absolute legend just for Child In Time if nothing else. Beat that if you can ( you can't)

Child in Time has always been one of my Deep Purple favourites too. This is a 2010 performance from Nidarosdomen, wherever that is.
..... And this is another performance of Child in Time from 2009, featuring Steve Lee on vocals. Edited by Psychedelic Paul - July 16 2020 at 01:38 |

Paice Ashton Lord are an interesting band, I think they only made 1 album but it's worth a listen in a rocky funky kind of way. I saw them at Hammersmith Odeon when Tony Ashton fell off the stage on the way to his keyboard and played the whole gig in pain.

The Windows album was something of a disappointment for me, mainly because one of the two featured sopranos went ridiculously over-the-top with her ultra-high vocal range - which would probably disturb any cats and dogs in the neighbourhood.

Before I Forget is the one I like most. "Tender Babes," "Hollywood Rock and Roll" and "Burntwood" are magnificent cuts. I love that album.
Jon Lord's awesome. Without him, Deep Purple would have been MUCH less interesting.

Paul, I'm disappointed. You didn't do your usual clever thing in the intro this time. Oh well. ;)

I know. I just wanted to say it's good of you TO NOTICE SUCH THINGS, BEFORE I FORGET to mention it. I was rather lazy in copying and pasting the intro to my review for the GEMINI SUITE album PICTURED WITHIN this thread. I could perform a SARABANDE dance of joy listening to Jon Lord's marvellous BOOM OF THE TINGLING STRINGS on his DURHAM CONCERTO. This thread has revealed WINDOWS into Jon Lord's music I didn't know existed before. If I really listen to a CONCERTO FOR GROUP & ORCHESTRA and go BEYOND THE NOTES, it feels just like being there IN CONCERT WITH THE LONDON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA in my front room.
