mjzee Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 In the album "Mucho, Mucho," vibes are clearly heard. Yet the discographies in Wikipedia and disco.org do not list a vibes player. Anyone know who it might be? Similarly, in the album "Scottie Plays The Duke," a piano is clearly heard in addition to the organ. Yet no mention of who the pianist is. Anyone know?

clifford_thornton Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Phil Diaz is listed as the vibraphonist on Mucho, Mucho (according to the back cover). Can't speak for Scottie Plays the Duke, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 Again according to the back cover (found on discogs under "more images"), the piano playing on Plays Duke is by Scott herself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you listened to the album to verify that organ and piano are both played at the same time? (I do not want to be picky,but my discographical work taught me to always listen to the music before stating anything like this.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeweil Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Sorry, that youtube file won't play in Germany - restrictions from GEMA. What I can hear on samples of two tracks on amazon sounds like left on organ and right hand on piano, not necessarily overdubbed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Differing balance levels suggest piano overdub/insert to me. And there are some passages on the full cut that would probably take four hands to play in real time unless you were Buck Hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Dryden Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Even Buck Hammer overdubbed some of that boogie woogie piano... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Berry said his voice was recorded at slightly higher speed to make him sound younger and more appealing to the youths in the late 1950s.
