Here are some impressive audio clips from Synthzone buddy Manuel Dorante's ongoing Long Butte Indian Casino gig (along with singer/keyboardist Michael Corollo) in Phoenix, Arizona, recorded a couple of days ago.

Manual provides keyboard accomp & instr solos on his Tyros 4 while Michael sings and plays a Yamaha Tyros 2. Manuel also added his back up vocal on a couple of the songs. All songs were recorded live on fly using Manuel's portable Zoom R16 audio recorder. Top rate performance from two top rate pro arranger keyboard musicians. Terrific singing & keyboard playing from both Manuel & Michael. Bravo guys!
Your rehearsals together have certainly paid off! clap

If you're in the Phoenix area, don't miss seeing them. Their next their performance at Long Butte Casino is on Oct 4, and Oct 31st.

Thanks Scott and Manuel

Very Good Demos, Nice and upbeat with a clear recording.

Sounds like Manuel is having a good time. After listening to these demos, I would definitely hire them.

Two side notes:
1. Old Time R&R may not have the correct parameter as I can't open it
2. Manuel's SZ Profile Homepage seems to be a dead link
.


Good stuff, thanks to both for sharing

Nice to hear a keyboard duo- Good stuff too!

question- how do you guys do the classic breaks on "Oye Come Va"?

Is it a midifile or a style with the break in one of the variations?

There are couple of song styles that have those brakes.
I sometimes use 2 (or more) different styles depending on the complexity of the song and I make sure there are not volume/sound "bumps" and just make the registrations accordingly. In my Moon-dance arrangement I use 3 different styles.....etc.

In some cases I make my own styles.
Thank you Scott, Montuno and Larry....
