Steve,
I would like to take advantage of your songs to discuss an important difference between G-70 and Tyros 2.
One of the reasons that led me to buy a G-70, aside from the key feel and the piano sound, were exactly the Bossa Nova styles, that I consider the best among all the arrangers I have owned or tried.
My favorite one is the "Jazz-Bossa"; listening carefully to it, I have noticed that each variation lasts EIGHT bars and this allows for a lot of subtleties; for example, the drummer plays the second four bars with little differences compared with the first four (just listen to the sidestick...) and the end result is lively and spontaneous, almost like playing with a real drummer.
By comparison, the T2 bossas (with their fixed four bars lenghth) sound rather dull and repetitive, but it's true that the Tyros excels in the Jazz-Swing and also in the Ballad department, so to each its own...

I would like to do an experiment: to post a song recorded with the same style, first on the Tyros 2 and then on the G-70, to let everyone judge...

... Way to go Steve-O ...
You've got mail ....
t.

Dreamer sounds like a plan. I know you love Bossas and I've heard your work on OH Barquinho, I liked it very much. I'd be curious to hear your demo of the T2 and the G70.


Tony thanks!

Renig, despite the fact how much I like the Piano Night style, sometimes I play it and I think it does sound a bit plodding, but I like the style it enough to overlook it. that's not usually a tune I play at most gigs, especially at nursing homes.
