Here we go again with my Rhodes piano! It's been a while since last time...
Once again, I chose a song by Eumir Deodato, my favorite Rhodes artist, called "Spirit of Summer".
Personally, I think it's one of the most beautiful compositions ever made for Rhodes.......that's why I wanted to play it solo. It's just me and its magic sound. I felt nothing else was needed this time.
Thanks for watching!
And if you watched it through the end, thanks for your patience as well! Very few people take their time today to listen to slow songs like this. :-)

    Very difficult orchestral piece to duplicate even on an electric piano, however, you nailed the most gorgeous chord progressions masterfully. You play from your heart which produces wonderful phrasing and luscious chords. Beautifully done, Andrea.

    I have been listening to this song since Eumir came out with it over 20 some years ago. Always loved it. I just discovered your videos and really like your music. The Rhodes sound is just pure and a delight to listen to. You play great. I also love your San Juan Sunset version. I subscribed. I hope you share more. Thank you!

    This is wonderful, Andrea. You certainly do this song justice, and it's one of my favorites. I even have a copy of it on vinyl. I love the nonchalant look you get when you lazily slap the bass notes just before kicking into another gear with that wonderful soloing. The contrast there was too funny!

    Ahahah thanks Dan! I did that spontaneously....I need to be funky somehow in any song I play, even when not needed. lol I'm really happy you say I do this song justice, because it's one of my favorites as well. I studied it a lot before recording to play it the best I could. Thanks a lot! ;-)
