bitflipper Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Just discovered these gals, and it's surprisingly addictive stuff. Cheese und Krackers, that bass player! All this is live. Well-recorded but not subsequently sweetened. The drummer's got pipes, too. It's bugging me that I can't identify the bottom keyboard... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all, I've always had an affinity for Asian ladies (especially Japanese), so I'm enjoying that video in about all ways possible! (Boy are they good too!) As for that bottom keyboard, it's a Roland RD700! Check out about 1:08 into the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just didn't want to be the first to point out how cute these ladies are. I'm sure they'd rather be acknowledged as musicians first, which I do. Which I surely do. But a sexy musician is way more interesting than, say, a sexy movie actress, which may explain why Susan Tedeschi makes my pupils dilate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigb Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 I've gotta thank you again for that link Dave! Videos from THIS channel have just started appearing in my YouBoob recommendations! Looks like I'm going to be busy today. ? I think they're all named Yum Yum. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was married to one for 40 years. I think this band is pretty good too, recorded live, Fanny The group was founded by guitarist June Millington and her sister, bassist Jean, who had been playing music together since they moved from the Philippines to California in the early 1960s.

Quick Math Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Wow, this actually is really good. But you guys are somehow talking about something else lol. Anyways, great find. I have heard of good things about the Jazz stuff from there but personally didn't know much. I have had online jam sessions with other random but fairly or very skilled Japanese people online in the past so the video reminds me of these and these good vibes.

craigb Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Heh, I'm watching (and listening to) it again! Eye candy AND ear candy! (And wishing I was young again. That sax player and bassist are wonderful. *Sigh...*) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigb Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 With the new lineup mentioned in the last video. Oh, and for Dave, you can confirm at 5:04 that the second keyboard is indeed a Roland RD-700, but actually an RD-700 GX! ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitflipper Posted June 20, 2022 Author Share Posted June 20, 2022 How about some Japanese speed metal? Not my normal genre of choice, but I'd pay to see these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBH Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 (edited) I have never had a great desire to travel out of country - but the one exception would be Japan. Would love to travel there. Plus Keiko Matsui is one of the best. Edited June 20, 2022 by RBH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although sometimes she takes off into realms my brain cannot keep up with. Here she is 20 years ago, when she was still mostly down here in the realm of mortals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitflipper Posted June 21, 2022 Author Share Posted June 21, 2022 While we're on the topic of keyboard gymnastics and stuff to challenge your brain... This bassist might not be an Asian cutie, but sheesh, he's certainly in the same league musically. His fingers keep up even when my brain can't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
