Here we go! Awesome Randy. That board sound terrific and beautifully recorded.....sounded like I was in the studio under headphones. Nice.

That was really good. It sounds like the SX-900 really followed your right and left hand accompaniment very accurately. Excellent and very musical rendition. I love that tune.

Your laid back version was perfect. I REALLY enjoyed it.

Brilliant Randy, love your version.

Thanks again for listening and for the kind words! Having played this song 500 times on the sax, it is wonderful to be able to vary the approach a little and apply those wonderful Yammie styles to it. Arrangers are such fun - thanks again to all!

Randy,
Can we have more? Sort of has that cocktail piano feel about it . Love it

Randy, your doin’ the SX900 proud. Keep up the good work!
Mitch

Thanks Mitch! It is indeed a great way to spend time! Love this board!

Rikki - My whole desire with my arranger has pretty much been focused on trying to play a cocktail style. I really appreciate your sentiment and will see if I can rustle up a couple more...

PS - I am trying to force my left hand to cover the comping - I usually do a bit more, but with the camera rolling, my nerves kept me in the safety zone. HA HA.

Hi Randy ,
I think you’ve nailed it.
Singers have got it over us, they use the keyboards for backing.
Their voice is the focus of the song.
Same goes for someone like yourself, who uses keyboard for backing your sax.

When you listen to some arranger songs all you hear is the backing, the lead instrument playing the melody gets lost in the blur of sound.

For me , it should be about the melody, the backing in the background to compliment rather than dominate.

Look forward to hearing more.

Randy,
What style are you using. Awesome performance!
