Rhodes Piano by Herbie Hancock
Ok this is pretty interesting....sorry it's not a song but hey it's informative. We've got Herbie doing a promo piece for Rhodes Pianos. There are some tasty licks he uses to demostrate the techniques, benefits and framework of the Rhodes Piano. Man, do I love the sound of this instrument. There is something that is so tied to the sound of the early 70's that I just love. Check out the original promotional 45. Listen to side A here and side B here. In case you don't know what a Rhodes Piano is you can find a definition here. I found these treasures over at pow-wowcentral which is a great resource for all kinds of things including music.
thanks for this piece of jazzfunk history!
