[MardyBum93]

finally a video that isnt shit quality and explains everything nicely. Herbie is da man!

[JDALIVETUBE]

Why the hell did they stop making these?

[joshspoon]

@JDALIVETUBE they started making new ones. Obviously it's not the same cause it's not 1970 but it is made by Rhodes.

Oh man! I remember finding the mp3s of this record on Napster back in like 1997 when it was free.. back when the music sharing thing first started. I freaked the fuck out when I heard it. I called my dad in to hear it.. my dad of course being the cat that got me into Herbie, when I was about 1 or 2 days old, if I remember right. My dad was pretty excited about it. This record is a fabulous little piece of history for a Rhodes dude like me.

[roscoegino]

few played fender rhodes better than herbie hancock.

[MuseseekerMan]

@roscoegino none did.

[roscoegino]

@MuseseekerMan you're probably right. he's certainly the most prolific. i love joe sample and bob jamesas well though. zawinul and les mccann were no joke either. and ramsey lewis and mike longo and....lol

@roscoegino

All the great pianists of the 70s sounded great playing the Fender Rhodes, but Herbie made it sound like a completely new instrument. He had a special touch with the rhodes.

That's how I feel anyway.

[roscoegino]

@MuseseekerMan I totally get it.  I tell you one thing: when I first heard Herbie's "Tell Me A Bedtime Story" I wanted to go out and buy a Fender Rhodes that same day. That track is Fender Rhodes 101 plain and simple.
