Hi, tks, and so am I...I just bought a M-Tron pro...and as soon as I understand how this beast works I promise to self-indulge in never ending massive tron chords, brass, violins, accordion, whatever comes across...all minor of course...not a single 'happy' note...something like Tangerine Dream's "Mysterious Semblance at the Strand of Nightmares" or Popol Vuh's "Aguirre"...on a loop....extremely boring and self-indulgent AND pretentious...all true qualities of a Tron lover. 

best y'all

I like both....



 My interest in progressive rock and other pop groups in the 70's, directly and indirectly influenced me to become interested in jazz music.  Thelonious Monk is one of my favorites.  



Andy - Congratulations on your new album; I look forward to hearing it.

Oh man!  If I could be a jazz pianist, it would be Monk! Nobody, before or since, can solo like him. I would have loved to have heard him collaborate with say, Richard D James.

I like both....

My interest in progressive rock and other pop groups in the 70's, directly and indirectly influenced me to become interested in jazz music.  Thelonious Monk is one of my favorites.

Andy - Congratulations on your new album; I look forward to hearing it.

Maybe Errol Garner, and most definitely Oscar Peterson. Although when you are up at that level, it’s like you say Jesus, I say Mohammed. Room for more than one for sure. Not to say that the Monk is not sitting right up there with them. I will have to spend a little more time with his stuff.

Oh man!  If I could be a jazz pianist, it would be Monk! Nobody, before or since, can solo like him. I would have loved to have heard him collaborate with say, Richard D James.

I think that the Tron and jazz are back to back to each other...the Tron is soooo slow, it has a lot of delay...so much so  that most of these players would probably give up on the first chords...besides...it's OUT of tune...foreverrrr...thank God!

John,

I love Errol Garner & Oscar Peterson too !

I recommend that you check out Art Tatum; I think he was big influence on Oscar Peterson.

Also, check out Mal Waldron.

With the resurgence of the Mellotron, hopefully more artists will try to utilize it effectively in some sort of jazz based music, even though it seems, it was not used that successfully in the past.

Robert

The playing limitations of the instrument are one thing, but there is something a little deeper.  Jazz (to me) was always about 'precise imprecision', or in other words the way that very good musicians can play together in a way that sounds all over the map but which is actually pretty tight.  On the other hand, the Tron is the exact opposite - it's imprecise precision, in that few notes are really in tune (or are only close to it) and has absolutely no way of playing anything very quickly.  I'd have thought most jazz types would run a mile from a Mellotron!!

The standard setting that left the factory was a belt and braces adjustment to defeat any climatic change or mishandling.  Hence the block chord playing most of the time.

The playing limitations of the instrument are one thing, but there is something a little deeper.  Jazz (to me) was always about 'precise imprecision', or in other words the way that very good musicians can play together in a way that sounds all over the map but which is actually pretty tight.  On the other hand, the Tron is the exact opposite - it's imprecise precision, in that few notes are really in tune (or are only close to it) and has absolutely no way of playing anything very quickly.  I'd have thought most jazz types would run a mile from a Mellotron!!

I would be intrigued to know what Oscar Peterson did with his mellotrons, 
does anybody know of any recordings?

Mark


I haven't been able to trace anything - I get the impression that he used 
his MkV (didn't someone come on here a year or two back to say they'd bought 
it?) to work out his horn charts - I s'pose it was the only keyboard in the 
mid-'70s that you could even attempt that on.

As far as I'm concerned there isn't, my piano tuner used to play one in an 
NZ band in the 70's he insists there was delay in the one he used to play as 
well. I forgive him because he does a great job on my piano.


Mark, what's your piano tuner's name? Just wondering whether he recorded 
'back in the day'.
