Without toby there would be no Jamiroquai. The guy was an INCREDIBLE player and songwriter. RIP, Toby.
Without Toby, Stuart, Sola, Derrick, JK, Simon and the fans there would be no Jamiroquai.
@@EbedMashiaj Obviously true.
@@EbedMashiaj Ok...
Most underrated keyboardist of all time imo. In an effort to serve the music I always admired the way he intentionally steered clear of the usual hackneyed jazz idioms /solos in favour of a more minimal /musical approach. Genius.
I just found out Toby left this Earth to the other side. I met him and Jamioquai when they came to Toronto in 1996 or 1997, ? I was 18 and now 44. Thier first album had a huge impact on my life and my life's work for social and environmental justice. I was heavily into music and followed the band and knew Toby wrote a lot of the music/ production talent. When my dream came true and we hung out, he played music and and told me he was thinking of leaving which I understood why. I had the chance to hang out with him and listen to his story, frustration that unfortunately many didn't know how him and Stuart were the foundation supporting J Kay, no offense to Jay as he was very nice too.That night was epic, he was so kind and connected with me that many people and artists never do and had a night I will never forget and continued to go on to connect and encourage my other friends who have succeeded in music scene in Toronto and went on to become successful producers and DJs. RIP Toby, a night I will never forget and gave me the light to keep shining. The whole crew was so respectful and welcomed me with open arms, gave me confidence in myself in a budding woman to be and supported my geekiness with my love of how they produced thier music and love of music. Thank you🤗
RIP Toby. You impacted us all in a good way.
RIP legend... Jamiroquai will never be the same again without you.
I'm your fan Mr. Smith, the best funky keyboardist ever.
{ guess you never heard of Bernie Worrel
@@stizz9798 RIP to both legends
@@stizz9798 interesting that both bernie and toby were classically trained. maybe the real funkiest keyboardist is bach lol...
I love your Jamiroquai's cover ✨
Toby Smith, such a legend. The driving force behind one of the greatest-ever funk bands... he never really got the proper credit for his amazing work.
How the hell did he come up with "Just Another Story"? ... Absolute legend! RIP Toby.
He listened to American funk and soul from the 70s and he was so passionate about it he made his own brand with Jamiroquai.
The intro ❤🫶🏾😍
Thank you for your creation, Toby. Too young too die.
Long live the legend.
Thank you for all those precious, gorgeous chords, Toby.
Your brilliance is forever noted, mate.
RIP
manifest destiny chord progression is on another level, that's that deep shit right there

RIP Toby Smith, legend !
Greg Thomas sad :(
This fool didnt know hes talking to one of the best keyboardists, totally killed it in return of the spece cowboy
RIP, Toby. A really lovely bloke.
when stuart and toby left Jamiroquai, that was the end of Jamiroquai. At least we got three classics!
+Crimsonphilosophy nothing really happened when zender left. Katz, the horn section, D-Zire and then Toby and eventually Fyfee.. Zender is overated (as if all the jamiroquai`s sound relied on his playing) and jamiroquai WAS a band before jay started his own journey with "guests musicians" ...
Crimsonphilosophy those first three albums were flawless funk classics r.I.p Toby Smith..
You have lost your mind!!! The original architect of the Jamiroquai sound was "Nick Van Gelder" (original Jamiroquai Drummer); "he" was responsible for the UNAPOLOGETIC funkiness of the bass line on R.O.T.S.C. (Stuart had only been playing base for 2.5 - 3yrs by the time he'd mastered that bass line). Nick and Jay's falling out before the second album was the first instance of Jay hogging the credits for album production; I had a brief email string asking Nick about what went down and he basically said that Stuart had picked up on his "vibe" and pretty much was a "caretaker" of the Jamiroquai's sound.
You could tell the original Jamiroquai sound was gone by the time Nick Fyffe came in; the sound had "completely changed!" Only people who picked up on Jamiroquai "AFTER" the release of R.O.T.S.C. think the sound never changed... That's like saying the Doobie brothers still sounded the same after Michael McDonald took lead or "Chicago" never changed sound after the death of Terry Katz in 1977...
The current Jamiroquai lineup sounds like a "tribute band" when songs from the first 3 cd's are played (and I bought them when they first came out). As much as I "loved" the group, the "Jamiroquai sound" left when zender left, and Jay decided to not hang on to it. Pity, because that is what established them. Sure some of the later stuff with Fyffe and Turner had groove to it, but is just never had that "flavor" on the bass the way you could feel it when zender was slapping the strings...
But to each his own... :-)
anaranjadisimo Zender is not overrated.
@@anaranjadisimo are you trolling? Zenders bass playing and style was CRITICAL to Jamiroquais sound it can be imitated but never replicated.
Too young to die...RIP Toby.
Mr. Smith. Your playing is extremely unique. It makes me recognize my true being : Love
RIP Toby you talented geezer x
space cowboy turns 30!! thank you for the chords. RIP. 🙏
Miss you Toby
You were a true musical genius. RIP Tobe
Rest in power! One of the greatest keyboard players eva!!!
Folks, I’m really sorry. I started to like every comment and just realise that there are eternal comments of yours.
So this ❤ to all comments and regards to Toby - naturally unique musician.
Good interview with the kindness to share knowledge.RIP Toby Smith
NOOOO! Toby jeez, love what you gave us, thank you and RIP!
💐🌸🌼🌺🌻🌹🌷 flowers for you. rip.
Toby was king of the Rhodes! He and Stuart Zender was the sound of Jamiroquai in the early years.
yes! What did they become now?
@@machytka
Toby passed away a few years ago sadly. As for Stuart, I don’t know.
@@KRAZEEIZATION In my opinion: after they are gone, the band lacked of ingenuity. The first 4 albums were a bomb!
@@machytka True. Even Travelling Without Moving which was far more commercial than the complexities of the first two is an incredible achievement. I think Synkronized lacks the brilliance of it. I’ve all the albums but to be honest the post 1996 stuff lacks that real band presence. Light Dust and Automaton are boring and it’s hard to listen to them all the way through.
You are right, the first two are the best. Then, they were a band, afterwards they became a produced utility. But you have to admit, that on album three and four they are great songs with originality. From a social, psychological perspective, it’s my impression, that all became a one-man tyranny show. But maybe my judgment is too superficial.
This fool had no idea who had to privileged to interview. One of the best keyboardist of all time. RIP toby
That keyboarding is awesome! YUM! RIP.
Best keyboardist in the world...
SIR TOBY SMITH
RIP Toby Smith the best!!!
RIP Toby.
Miss Toby's sound.
He WAS the sound of Jamiroquai actually.
So brilliantly understated.......'do you know what all these knobs do?' 'Err, no......this one's volume....oh, and this one's treble'.
RIP Toby. ❤
rest in peace forever
this interview didnt make sense.
now it makes sense.
Anyone know where we can hear Toby’s dance records?
Mr. Smith as a keyboardist myself I think your one of the funkiest keyboardist your style of playing is like great like Alicia Keys and Patrice Rushen I would love to interview you for my digital newsletter and blog JuJu Crib I'm also a producer at CAN TV Chicago I would love to have you come into the studio here in Chicago next time your in Chicago.
Toby Smith very sadly passed away 3.5 years ago. RIP Toby.
RIP
Я заново подписалась без посредников. Спасибо. 👌😁👌
toby u r the fckn man!!!!
He speaks like Patrick Baladi from the office.
This video will not load.
Works here...
@@RecordProduction OK, now its workiong. Must ha ve been temporary. Thank you for checking! :0)
is it a shame I only care about the sound he created with Jamiroquai?
I noticed that his arrangements until a funky odyssey were flawless!
great interview but the hiss level is ridiculously distracting!
not laylines but high ceilings. The only high element in the room should be the music makers.
"Laylines..."
A truly talented bloke, so so awful.
亡くなったんだもんな…
The legend, RIP Toby
RIP
