Somebody asked me why I use the Roland V-Piano Grand
rather than an acoustic piano - I have a nine-foot
acoustic concert piano, a concert grand in my studio
and the reason, apart from the fact that I love playing it, is this.
when you're recording over many many days
a big band album like this and overdubbing different parts
It's really important that the tuning is good.
and an acoustic piano is going to be moving all the time
and if I want to put down a little bit of piano, which I did sometimes in a track and
then put down some horns then come back and do something else if it's moved
we would constantly be tuning and there's a great danger with this
because the recording is not going down live, if you have a big band in
the studio
and they all record one day then they will record the next day if the piano
has moved it doesn't matter
they'll play to the cannon the next day and it's fine when you put it down one
bit at a time
this meeting between equals dominance and more it tonight
so we needed can add that never news
in the June in any way to do that is
the
the the new
the
the other thing was when I reported a brass Kerala pot on its own
it ended up being a little shop and that's just how I played a time and so
when I want to play the piano with it later when the man comes in
if I'd had an acoustic 13 Cano we would either have to reach and Hannah
remove the page on the recording can't do this but we haven't done that
on this recording because I don't think it sounds very good
with this approach is easy just to dial up the new which I actually lifted from
I for forty
I for 41 and was back
the No
on
on facts
time no in the air on
happy been when they you mean the
I want to see it Monday
want them to go days ahead Obama and Iraq back to

the
the new
you don't bother me an f-bomb
being this hits them up the
me they they sign each other down and
mining I see John you
see you see you see you see
you see I'm gonna say it must not be getting
