Saw them a couple of times. Insane level of musicianship. Best rock keyboardist, and arguably 2nd best rock drummer.


RIP to the 21st Century Schizoid Man.

I had Brian Salad Surgery in my HS record collection, intense. Different in a Yes type of way. All great musicians. RIP.

I can't dislike you anymore... well maybe I can because I utterly despise your lack of style and class.

You disgust me, sir... but we have more in common than not.

Now I feel like I need a tetanus shot.

There were only three of them. Compare total amount of talent to an outfit like Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and there's no comparison.

You're right - Emerson was a giant among rock musicians. The early 70s was a time when electronic keyboards were just starting to make a splash, and an amazing amount of creative stuff was coming out. In the jazz world a bunch of great keyboard players were also experimenting and transitioning from the post bop 60s to jazz/rock/R&B/funk fusion.

Some pretty incredible stuff out there from Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea and Joe Zawinul to name a few. I'll try and post some stuff later but check out:

Hang Up Your Hangups


The album Headhunters

Pretty impressed with ELP covering Aaron Copland, here and elsewhere. Hoedown ring a bell? But it doesn't get much better than this.

Covering Mussorgsky was pretty impressive too.

Another keyboard giant of the 70s, though Jaco tends to be a show stealer.
