Keith Jarrett is a keyboard jazz legend who ranks with Dave Brubeck and Chick Corea . . . Having him play the Tyros is actually a historic event.
Nigel, This most "definitely" felt like an "arranger keyboard historic event" for me as well
, especially in light of this
recent synthzone thread, in which Chas (cgiles) stated:
Although no one here will admit it, NO ONE but ARRANGER PLAYERS consider these keyboards as 'legitimate' instruments. That doesn't mean that some of the people that use them or make a living with them, aren't legitimate musicians or even good or great musicians; it just means that the established musical mainstream does not consider them as 'legitimate' instruments . Why then, do they command such little respect and even some derision, within the community of professional working (excluding OMB's) musicians.
At last
, I can finally feel the music establishment's long time anti-arranger tide changing. - Scott
