The whole "splash" thing he does sounds like it would have worked on organ way better than it does on Rhodes. I love Rhodes, but heard so many players not getting that it wasn't a piano, nor was it an organ, it was a RHODES goddami! that...brrrrrr.... Say what you will about Chick Corea (I both love him and loathe him at times), he knew how to get a wonderful personal sound on the Rhodes. Herbie Hancock, too. I agree, there are jazz pianists I like on acoustic who I can't stand on Rhodes (looking at you and your ring modulator, George Cables) and others who just became totally bland (Kenny Barron, for instance).

JSngry Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 I love George Cables on Rhodes. not sure about his Ring Modulator, though...where do I go to hear that? Listening to Funk In France now, and yes, shame about Don Lamond, that might be in France, but it is not funk. Still love the guy, but... The Antibes set, though, HELL YEAH. Too bad that the organ wasn't always in the mix, that really sucks, but great energy all around, nonstop pocket, and the best Claude Bartee on record!

The Joe Henderson September 1970 Lighthouse material on Milestone ('If You're Not Part of the Solution...' and part of 'In Pursuit of Blackness'). I will give you that Cables sounds good on Woody Shaw's great 'Blackstone Legacy'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Best recorded Rhodes sound ever imo, although the LP is really the only way to go, although CD is ok. YouTube sound sucks, you can't really get the magnificence of David Lee's cymbal whooshbath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also like the next one, 'Horn Culture', with "Sais". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
