The Funkiest Piano Solo

[@GeorgeCollier]

0:28 is unbelievably stanky also, 1,400 people have seen this video in november 2021 when i accidentally released two videos at once

[@Benisuber1]

uploading for 15 months we are so blessed

[@にゃん太郎-q5p]

あはみろれらやら…らはま

[@Caelio]

To me, it starts at 0:17.

[@fredelin2580]

Are you able to make a PDF available ? Thanks

[@ravenna6543]

Bruh is absolutely ripped and throwing out the most dank keyboard solo ever. Goals.

[@toaster3082]

Piano

[@jsimplzn24]

Don't forget the hair

[@amendtheman]

His eyes at the end 😂

[@TimothyLamore]

I need a gospel shred band in my life

[@PokeWaffles]

Sharing for the (few) folks who haven't heard: Woody Goss (from Vulfpeck) interpolated one of Richard Tee's legendary piano solos and used it as the B section in the Vulfpeck song Tee Time. That solo is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/omPQe5dsiMR4prM and it is absolutely worth your time if you haven't seen it yet.

[@adm_ezri]

Woody also did a lil' piano tutorial on how to play in that style kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2XLn5qbpNqobrc

[@maximushermanite]

Just finished watching it….and my good Sir, you were absolutely right when saying it’s worth the time, and I encourage EVERYONE to check it out!

[@Cedar77]

Thanks so much! The sax solos are also nothing to sneeze at! :)

[@Benisuber1]

I hadn't heard of Richard Tee before that song, and after watching some of his performances like this I couldn't believe how accurately Vulfpeck recreated this very performance. Pretty incredible.

[@Hi_Flyers]

ahhhhhh, that's why I thought this sounded like vulfpeck, cuz they straight up quote it lol. thats awesome!

[@nathanbarnes3969]

This guy played piano at Simon and Garfunkel’s concert in Central Park, his rendition of BOTW still gets me every time I hear it

[@regularUserx]

He knows how to pump like Richard Tee.

[@davinchaffin6839]

he watched the vulf tutorial that's why

[@tnasir2003]

Richard tee is an absolute hidden gem. Most people don't know his name but you've already heard him, he was a high profile session musician who worked with huge artists (he played keys on Just the Two of us for example). Take the time to listen to Richard Tee's solo albums, they are an incredible blend of funk, jazz, r&b, and soul with equally incredible playing. Sadly they aren't on most streaming platforms so you'll have to do some digging, but I can promise you that it'll be more than worth it.

[@NYCJazzFan]

Played keys at Simon and Garfunkel's Concert in Central Park too!

[@liana.chawngthu]

​@@NYCJazzFan bridge over troubled water was legendary

[@namik99]

Also “I’m Every Woman” by Chaka Khan and later Whitney Houston

[@bliss4492]

ok but that heartbeat on the kick drum tho 👀

[@the_al_guy3169]

Steve Gadd pumpin as always

[@louisparry-mills9132]

so good, so consistent, aaaaaaaaa

[@knobrotknobrot]

Very hard to do. I've tried.

[@atn_holdings]

one of my favourite details is at 1:28 when he mouths "OKAY" at the band, as if they were letting him a variable number of 8-bars to solo and he decided to yield? this whole album is a masterclass. Most of the transitions in this show are smooth and instant, as if had every note perfectly planned in advance, yet you still have some indications that they were groovin. I just don't get it. It's awesome

[@dakota5432]

Live music never ceases to amaze

[@Kj_Gamer2614]

that falling then rising sequence from 0:17 really tickles my brain

[@bwaybig]

Also it sounds like baby shark

[@bragtime1052]

​@@bwaybig stop 😢

[@bwaybig]

​@bragtime1052 the truth bears a weight

[@jojorobino5312]

That drum and piano went so well.

[@tnasir2003]

Steve Gadd and Richard Tee gotta be one of the greatest musical duos ever. They have such a full sound with just 2 instruments, check this out kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3OmdaSLqraKeqs

[@rozkaz661]

Thats the legendary steve gadd on drums so no wonder

[@thatelectropig8678]

He can play and probably lift that piano

[@JPB5]

That head nod at 0:19. He was like “Oh yeah, I’m feeling it now” XD

[@tylerthompson1842]

He always got that church flavor in everything he plays. So good.

[@the_al_guy3169]

Dude, you picked my absolute favourite piano solo of all time. Thank you so much 💚

[@Hennu_TRM]

I like the part where he said, "It's Tee time," and then broke his piano in half.

[@NubblyTheSlime]

Vulfpeck reference?

[@Hennu_TRM]

@@NubblyTheSlime Ye, it's been a year since I made that comment but I think I was trying to capture some Dunkey energy along with that Vulf allusion...

[@ericmyrs]

I guess they didn't call it Tee Time for nothing.

[@ripleyhrgiger4669]

The chord progression is so god damned uplifting! The drummer's kick drum work is REALLY great too!

[@jenkinsfamily2229]

Take a shot every time a comment mentions Vulfpeck’s Tee Time

[@patrickagu]

Crazy ass accompaniment. Those fingers!!!❤️🔥

[@jonathanpivot164]

Now I understand Vulfpeck's Tee Time

[@the_al_guy3169]

Everyone digging this should check out his solo on Love the Stuff/Ain't no mountain high enough (live in NY)

[@remmer9964]

Dude when I first heard the solo on Love the Stuff/Ain't No Mountain High Enough I immediately thought of this! Damn Stuff is such a great band!

[@the_al_guy3169]

i found an even better version of it. on "signed sealed delivered" on Gadd Gang's 1988 record here & now there is basically the same solo @@remmer9964

[@015_rik]

今から30年前、初めて聴いたジャズがリチャード・ティーだった。 それから色々聴いたりしたけど、やっぱりこれが好き。ピアノでグルーヴが作れる事を初めて知った。 10代の時に聴いて衝撃を受けた音楽を、その後聴いた音楽が超える事はできないってあるアーティストが言ってたけど、そうだと思う。

[@RD-jr8nv]

Thank you so much for shining light on Richard Tee and Stuff. Please check out this whole performance if you haven’t already people. Stuff- Live at Montreux

[@scottmclagan4276]

Lot's of good blues/gospel context in this one. Thanks George!

[@Zerzere]

That's exactly what I'm subscribed for. Thank you mate

[@MarxReChords]

Man! Why don't we have a full album of your beats on streaming yet? 😂❤ Jaw on the floor. Unbelievably smooth!

[@ryanmoore8814]

This is the bomb holy shit

[@alizonlissance7771]

There is no one who comes close to this man! By far the funkiest pianist I’ve ever heard…the deepest groove ever…thank you Richard Tee! 😘🎶🙏

[@stephenweigel]

This is some absolutely incredible piano playing

[@rosalamars7894]

Love that you did something from Richard Tee and Stuff :)

[@alexnahas2907]

Please do his intro on "Oh happy day" from this concert. To this day it's my favorite work ever recorded on piano

[@zackpribble6917]

That whole song and transition to ode to stuff! I don't have the vocabulary to say how great it is

[@halvorhansen]

Damn this reminds me of Tee Time by Vulfpeck

[@GeorgeCollier]

tee time was a tribute to this performer

[@LOLZMinCraf]

Excellent playing!!!

[@LizardDoggo]

George: “I won’t make a transcription there’s already one” Few months pass *makes one anyway* @GeorgeCollier

[@GeorgeCollier]

yes this was made in 2021

[@ivanmay7890]

The first time I heard Richard Tee play piano, I was like, "Goddamn it, nobody plays like Richard Tee does!" And sure enough, I was right.

[@vikesfan95]

Dudes playing it with his eyes closed. Straight up filthy.

[@carbonc6065]

Heck yeah, some great recognition for this man!

[@Justus8]

GROOF

[@atn_holdings]

yeah I would say finding this live at montreux show at random 2yrs ago tipped the scales towards me learning the piano

[@geetee2456]

My man is in the zone🔥🔥

[@Mr-NutnGo]

I keep replaying this

[@DanRelayer_Ukraine]

reminds me of Keith Jarrett's solo concerts, when he would get into some sort of happy groove

[@Its-me..]

It's so beautiful

[@JohnChapman7]

Who's going to say he sounds like Woody Goss? :)

[@ericmyrs]

Tee is a total Goss ripoff.

[@cyoub5723]

YES

[@godofstraycats7212]

Now I understand why the song from Vulfpeck is called "Tee Time"

[@therealtruetwelfth798]

Tee is a killer. That shirt says it all - man has the STUFF!

[@etorius22]

YEAH, TEE TIME!

[@jtbucknor]

This is an insane performance.

[@nathanallen9068]

I kinda want that “Stuff” shirt tbh

[@rvic11]

[@remcoarets5142]

Those drums though. Pfffff

[@pinkyandorbrain]

Bruh, vulfpeck are paying homage to this.

[@fzk2amzj]
