What I enjoyed about Martin's playing is that he really makes use of the many facilities in his chosen arranger. He doesn't just pick a style, and then play simple right hand melodies over it (although, there's certainly nothing wrong with that), but he utilizes the arranger's strengths and features to provide an even more "interesting" performance. Like several other players on SZ, he has obviously taken the time to explore his keyboard to great depth.
One of the OP's criticisms of the Arranger is the alleged repetitive nature of style play, and although I haven't had the pleasure of hearing any examples of Bill's playing (without styles) to illustrate his preferred method's non-repetitive effectiveness, I have to say Martin Harris's integration of styles within his musical arrangements tend to draw in, and keep, the listener's involvement.
One thing for sure, I appreciate Bill's posting of these links...many of these tunes are new to me, and Martin's wonderfully clever use of this particular arranger's features, his emotive and skillful playing, and his inventive musical interpretations are definitely an inspiration to me, if not the rest of my fellow arranger players on SZ, regardless of the model or brand of instrument they have chosen.
Thanks Bill...very enjoyable, indeed.
Ian
