****og synths and the like

[Eric Hochberg]

The keyboard player in Chevere, the Latin Jazz group I play in, uses ****og exclusively: B3, Rhodes, clavinet, mini mog, memory moog, rogue. I play next to him and the sound is the best, fat, soulful and full of color. A highly recommended experience!

I also did many sessions and concerts with Ken Nordine of Word Jazz fame. He had the whole Moog patch and play module setup, Arps, and other vintage gear lying around the studio, big part of his music production. Also, as a college student, I took an electronic music class where i used the modular Moog to recreate the big band Ellington/Strayhorne arrangement of Chelsea Bridge, one part at a time, bouncing back and forth to two track tape.

I have an old mini-moog needing repair that I have to do something with...it's been sitting around idle for 20 years. I performed a "music with synths" concert/clinic with it for 200 Chicago area schools in the 80's.
