Jim Riggs at the Wurlitzer: "June Night" Duet

Музыка

Here's another "Phantom Duet", featuring once again the Ampico reproducing roll artistry of pianist and bandleader Vincent Lopez on the Steinway/PianoDisc. This nice addition to the series has lots of glissandi in the second and third choruses. It's the sort of stuff that'd go great with top-down summer afternoon mountain motoring, preferably in a vintage Bentley...

    Thank you for posting...Beautiful performance! Hearing a theater organ nowadays is a very rare treat. Vincent Lopez did a quite a few Ampico rolls and was the "house" dance band at the Taft Hotel in Midtwn Manhattan for many years.

    Excellent as always... I've always loved your playing, going all the way back to that day I heard you at the Wurlitzer at the Soderstorm residence, back in the 70's :)

    Thank you for posting this. And beautifully filmed too - a very difficult subject matter to get right. Wurlitzer pipe organs are one of America's great gifts to the world. some fine examples survive in the UK but only Americans seem to be able to play them so beautifully.

    Every one of these “phantom duets” is extraordinary-especially the beauty of the reproducing piano coupled with the unmatched sound of the theater organ. And what playing! At least three key changes, and masterful playing on all four manuals!

    Anyone else get a kick out of the nod to "Widor," just before the bridge? Pretty creative way to dovetail in a totally different style.

    This is a captivating arrangement on the piano roll, and a splendid accompaniment on the Wurlitzer. The pity is that the BALANCE does not work to best advantage to pair the two instruments. The piano needed more amplification of sound. Otherwise this is is a energy filled and pleasant arrangement. DJ

    Wouldn't the answer you request bust the max number of characters on KZread posts - or are you just asking for the model and rough description (and number of - most likely two) of pipe chambers and their ranks? Well I can't give that to you....
