Topic: Road Song (Pianoteq)

a real book tune by Wes Montgomery, although actually it's not part of the real book proper.  the original book is written out in the same hand (e.g. Inchworm) but apparently as time went on more tunes were added by other people.  my copy (purchased in the 80s) has about 15 extra tunes at the end, all but one written out by this anonymous copyist.  later copies have even more tunes added.  this particular tune is one of the more well-known ones, and it's quite fun so i thought why not.

here's a performance with Wes that's extremely amusing,  it features Jimmy Smith playing a very strange sounding grand piano   i guess television audiences were more forgiving in the past.

Re: Road Song (Pianoteq)

Great playing and sound! Can’t say what piano you are using, but it sounds perfect to this piece. Love the chords, great chord progression, how they goes in some places and the low bass, is a joy to hear.

I can hear you are really in to it, interested in this kind of music. You really like doing this.  And that's exactly why it always sounds so good, impressive.

Thanks a lot budo, for sharing these pieces and your special gift with the world.

Best wishes,

Stig
