“Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes” – Paul Simon
Paul Simon’s “Graceland” is one of the albums I perform in its entirety from time-to-time. This is one of my favorite songs performed on piano, melodica, voice, and foot-tambourine.
Recorded at the Legionnaire Saloon in Oakland, CA, where I perform every Tuesday and Thursday night from 6-9.
Graham Richards at the Legionnaire Saloon – “Andy’s”
I’ve taken up residence at the Legionnaire Saloon in Oakland, CA, 22nd & Telegraph. Tuesdays & Thursdays from 6-9 pm I play all sorts of music from Bach to Beatles, Billie to Willie, Disney to D’angelo. This is an Irish reel I learned from Michael Cooney’s album “Just Piping,” a fantastic album I recommend to anyone even remotely interested in Irish pipes.
“Switched-on SRS” stem kit series inspired by Wendy Carlos
I put together this video documenting the creation of Sample Replay Society’s new stem kit series, “Switched-on SRS,” curated by G Koop & O-man and inspired by the legendary Wendy Carlos.
We deconstructed and painstakingly (and respectfully) re-constructed 3 Bach preludes and one Fugue at G Koop’s incredible studio “Fuzz Deluxxe” in Oakland, CA, utilizing his impressive collection of vintage gear and synthesizers. The multi-track recording sessions are made available, royalty-free, to producers in need of samples for music-making.
Here are the four beats Koop made to demonstrate the versatility of Bach’s mastery in a hip-hop context (all from the Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1):
