Does he has got some unknow, hidden, avant garde (1978), … Zynthian box elsewhere to play sax, piano and drums while he’s alone on stage ?
That is the question !
But : a good song, a kind of punk imho

Another song in the 1978 style:
It’s a cover from a Velvet Underground song.
I bought that ep a couple of years after he was published (in 1985 maybe).
Cabaret voltaire, with the help of many others like Kraftwerk, Front 242 in the early 80’s, …( Also, please note that Cerrone with his disco music helped me too 
) makes me discover these new “instruments”, these “machines”, for making music, noise and other expermentations.
Thanks you all for that, otherwise I would have stick the to “guitar hero” ideal, or more basically the only 3 notes used by the Ramones.

I’m probably older than all of you … but I need to hear the harmony and not the sequencers repeating the same notes over and over, or the simplified three-chord pieces (dominant, third and fifth). but music makes our souls vibrate with different frequencies for each person … this is its beauty…

Trust me I just look young…
[Wayne Shorter] summed up Michel Petrucciani’s essential character and style in this quote:
“There’s a lot of people walking around, full-grown and so-called normal—they have everything that they were born with at the right leg length, arm length, and stuff like that. They’re symmetrical in every way, but they live their lives like they are armless, legless, brainless, and they live their life with blame. I never heard Michel complain about anything. Michel didn’t look in the mirror and complain about what he saw. Michel was a great musician—a great musician—and great, ultimately, because he was a great human being because he had the ability to feel and give to others of that feeling, and he gave to others through his music.”
This fine gentleman was posted on this very thread way back on post 126…
I’m sure some of the more mathematically inclined could tell us if it’s ahead or behind probability…

… if we want to talk about people who, in addition to making good music, have really beautiful sounds …
I am not particularly fond of non-Italian Jazz (Fresu, Bosso, Pierannunzi etc. etc.) … but these people are scary …
Finally found a style that matches my musical ability. 20th Century Serialism :>
[edit] As a side note, the composer was asked to found IRCAM in 1970.

I will be “ancient” but I find it hard to appreciate this …
I feel that word may be used quite loosely in this context!

Now I have a hankering for some economic bluegrass. The only economist musician I know is Professor Bill Mitchell who pioneered Modern Monetary Theory (the theoretical basis for AOC’s Green New Deal policy) and plays in a Reggae-Dub band.

First of all, I don’t allow myself to teach anyone anything…
The first two turns (piece by Pino Daniele) are “normal” chords, the second two turns are the same chords but played with seventh, ninth, third and fifth (in this order). The atmosphere changes completely. The sound is Rhodes stereo by Sfizz played with Zynthian

The only one I know from Pino Daniele is that one : YES I KNOW … MY OWN WAY.
A song that always makes me dance, or sing, or laugh, or cry.

Pino Daniele was first of all a great musician… then he was able to create a cocktail between the blues and the Neapolitan “language” (which is pure poetry). He had moments where he was too commercial for my liking, but then he would appear on “Umbria Jazz” and make it clear what he was capable of …
Naples has been for centuries a crossroads of a thousand cultures and the Neapolitans have a thousand souls… the greatest Italian musicians come from this city. In their music you can hear arabesque scales, jazz, soul, blues… Pino Daniele is (for my taste) the maximum expression of Naples and Italian music.
