[@StefanOlofsson]

Correct!! Thanks a lot, Joe!! :) Haha, I'll definitely consider it.

[@viclakervic2571]

I should have waited till the end of your video :-) I've been wondering about this plugin, I know the story behind it. I'm definitely buying it. You sound awesome!!!

[@StefanOlofsson]

Glad it was helpful! And thank you very much for the kind words!!

[@oholm09]

Thats a good cover al jarreau and jay graydon production that brings back in the early 80s

[@StefanOlofsson]

Thank you sir, very happy to hear that!

[@oholm09]

​@StefanOlofsson my pleasure

[@Jockobass]

Woaw great playing on some of the best Jarreau songs ! Thank you for sharing this wonderful music. Alonzo is a gem, I agree. When you think that during this period (before Pro Tools...) you could have George Duke, Jay Graydon, Steve Gadd and Abe Laboriel playing on the same song...

[@StefanOlofsson]

Thank you very much, Jocko. Yes, indeed, Alonzo is a favorite. :) Those were the days when we had all these great groups playing together.

[@pepeoliver1982]

[@StefanOlofsson]

Fantastic improv work on Spain. Loved it. Keep up the great work, and thanks for sharing your talent.

[@StefanOlofsson]

Thank you very much, sir! 🙏🙏 Happy to hear that.

Awesome demos of an awesome plugin! As a drummer, I’m also extremely impressed with the drum programming, so a big kudos to Peter! Would it be possible to find out what snare from which sample library he used in this one? It’s the perfect 80s pop snare sample, the transient and everything is just right.

[@StefanOlofsson]

Much appreciated! All the drum sounds come from Toontrack "Decades" extension.

[@pika_speed]

@@StefanOlofsson Perfect combination. Of course, the drum engineering in Decades was by the legendary Al Schmitt, who was responsible for *the* '70s dry drum sound (Steely Dan/Al Jarreau/George Benson). And of course, the E Rhodes was similarly a staple in the music of Al Jarreau and Steely Dan. There's probably no better a Rhodes & drum library combination for emulating that sound.

[@StefanOlofsson]

@@pika_speed Sounds right. Thanks!

[@viclakervic2571]

Love it! I just subscribed! Is that the famous Graydon Plugin?

[@StefanOlofsson]

Thank you very much! Yes, it is!

[@oholm09]

You talking about l.a sounds

[@brucethomas3929]

Props to you, Stefan, for mastering the unique chord voicings to create that legendary Jarreau sound. It's sounds great!

[@StefanOlofsson]

Thanks very much, Bruce!! Thanks to Graydon and Foster for inventing that sound! :)

[@katsafone]

Love your playing here Stefan and as Bruce Thomas indicated, the voicings and the piano samples are what makes it for me. Take care, Wayde Carter

[@StefanOlofsson]

Thank you very much, Wayde! :) The piano is even and responds the way you'd expect. That helps a lot. All the best / Stefan

@@StefanOlofsson Musicians I always associate with the Rhodes are George Duke, Chick Corea and Joe Sample. Their chord voicings are just gorgeous 😊

@@StefanOlofssonMy pleasure. I'm a jazz guitarist but when I hear the Rhodes I'll try and mimic the legato playing... failing of course hahaha. Great to hear the Rhodes is still breathing life into new music today with musicians such as yourself 💯😊
