    I just listen to this again probably the 10th through 15th time in the past year. Nothing can bring back the original, but I don’t believe anybody could do a better job of reproducing it just simply amazing ! It even brings back the same smell of the ECM record with the plastic sheath. They came in, the album didn’t stick to. I remember the anti-static spray with the record cleaning thing that look like what you would buff your shoes with. 😮❤

  • @sonusancti
    @sonusancti 2 года назад +8

    Wow, that transcription is truly worthy of the original and you sir, nailed it.
    The best part in the original for me is towards the end of Lyle's solo when he starts his ascent to his climax. This part, if I could only play like you (sigh), I would hammer the chords in full force as it is the culmination of emotions.
    Great piece, great playing, so envious. Great piano btw.

    Marvelous! Hard to believe you could put all that into just one instrument. There's so much filler that all the other instruments (bass, drums and guitar) contribute to this piece of art. The melody certainly was difficult to play. Loved your arrangement, and you did Lyle justice by beautifully playing his part. Bravo
    Interestingly, the start of Lyle's solo has always sounded like the first line of "Amazing Grace" to me.
