Found an old live recording from 1991

[Robert]

Wow, this was fun to hear again! My friend in Sweden who played keyboards in our band "Local Gossip" sent me this live recording from 1991. Actually not that bad! I was new to jazz and improvisation back then. We were a Fusion band.

I wrote this song called "Dinky Toy". Don't ask me how I had the patience to create something like that... I don't seem to have that ability anymore.

Enjoy!

Sweee...den.
I was going to say sweet, but Sweden is almost the same thing.

I love this kind of stuff but have no idea how to play it.

Shades of Spyro Gyra, that was very sweee...den.

 

[Robert]

I was very much into Chick Corea Electric Band in those days. If you've ever heard them, you can tell how I inspired I was by their stuff back then.

Thought I heard a little Metheny in there too! Fun Listen!

 

[SuperSwede]

Nice! I almost expected a 7/8 beat, but sounds great in 4/4
You have a nice sound on that recording Robert.

 

[FrankAxtell]

I really enjoyed that very much! Thumbs up!

 

[Moshe]

Nice job!

I bet you could still write something if you wanted. You just steal something you like and change it a little....

Great job, Robert, the influence shows and you did a fine job showcasing your talent!
And now we know you've been a really good player for a long time!
