Hi Norm,

Thanks for the info and the compliment. :)

I guess using a mixer can do the trick. I will experiment more without using a
mixer, but I guess in the future I might need it...

That is a Yamaha grand. It's well tuned, and surprisingly many clubs take care
of pianos here in Japan, so I don't have to bring mutes and a tuning hammer like
I used to when I lived in Chicago. However, have you ever tried Shigeru Kawai
grand pianos? They are the best in my opinion. There is a piano shop outside of
Chicago showed me, and I played it, and it was great. I like it so much better
than Steinway because I used to play many Steinway pianos at college since they
had more than 30 Steinway grand pianos.

Yes, I'm in Japan... LOL There are so many clubs to play, but the scene isn't
that great, so I'm thinking about moving out of here in the future. Tokyo has
more jazz clubs than NY, but many of them don't pay. It's one of the tough music
scene I think. So, Chicago was so much better...

I guess I'm the only one who owns the Mojo in Japan. The Mojo is easy to fix,
and I did open up my Mojo, so if some parts need to be replaced, I can probably
do it myself. That's a good thing.

Hal

PS. By the way, great job on your project!

*Well if the "oomph" on the organ tone wasn't there in the first place then
the mic from the camera would not make a difference..*
*To make any clone in a jazz setting sound like a hammond/Leslie those
frequencies have to be present..being you play LH bass i am sure they
are/were..*
*Note the clones fault.. As a masterful player that you are Hal I am sure
in the room it was all good.*
*It just didn't come through on the recording..*
*A line out of the mixing board & some tweaking afterwards would probably
solve this..*
*I gotta go back and watch your clip again..*
*Love the piano player & that awesome grand.. Yamaha??*
*being you are in Japan!! LOL !*
