I remember buying this album and thinking it was cool, and having no earthly idea that Herbie Hancock was already one of the greatest jazz keyboardists of all time.

49ers WR’s are like Grateful Dead keyboardists, not built to last.

George Duke started out a jazz purist who wouldn’t sing or touch a synth. Frank Zappa bought him one, set it on his Rhodes, and later asked him to sing a note onstage. That nudge turned Duke into one of jazz-funk’s great singing keyboardists.

Hot take: Everyone complains about AI taking jobs (fkn legit) but c'mon guys, guitarist/vocalists have been doing this to hardworking drummers, bass players, and keyboardists for decades! Now blue collars are feeling the pressure, welcome to the life of being a musician*! *I'm a terrible drummer.

And the year before, I lost to Octavarium by Dream Theater, because Jordan Rudess did the exact same thing on the album's title track (even with "Jingle Bells" too)! So I guess progressive rock is also off this month because their keyboardists are massive trolls. 😭
