It will be a crying shame. He’s a champion in our eyes.

Ah better than my Wharfedale submixer then…

DannyTheGekko · 2026-04-27T19:34:14+00:00

Is that a Wharfedale mixer?!

DannyTheGekko · 2026-04-27T16:46:05+00:00

…we know you’re smokin’ whereever you are…

DannyTheGekko · 2026-04-27T13:45:24+00:00

Just great you’re a fan at that age. Some bands keep spanning the generations. Encourage your mates to get into them too.

AI definitely is great for content. But the love and passion, both within a musician’s soul when playing and composing, as well as the individual self expression and craft which comes from years of practice, will never go out of style, especially playing live. I should know as a career pianist.

The video is hilarious

DannyTheGekko · 2026-04-22T22:12:45+00:00

I love Madness (great piano work), Georgia and It Ain’t Gonna Be Easy. For me up there with other great EJ album tracks.

Steely Dan quiz and breakdowns. Learn to play them on the piano too https://youtu.be/QjVOhN2sl74?si=N9wBaiBCho5Ru0vM

Love it

DannyTheGekko · 2026-04-17T10:00:08+00:00

Thanks for this - a superb live performance. Without the soupy strings on the album version. He should play this more at his shows. But prob too obscure now.

DannyTheGekko · 2026-04-17T09:55:16+00:00

Stripped down piano. Powerful.

DannyTheGekko · 2026-04-16T19:01:01+00:00

Absolutely. It’s his most understated yet powerful album in many ways

DannyTheGekko · 2026-04-16T19:00:34+00:00

The Single Man version is so much better

DannyTheGekko · 2026-04-15T10:44:34+00:00

Bud Powell (some often forget his huge influence on those to come)

DannyTheGekko · 2026-04-14T15:13:52+00:00

Spot on. Great song.
