Very familiar with the Cold Blood Version, of Valdez in the Country, always like this fine group. Still listening them.
Perfect. Thank you!
Thanks. Been a favorite instrumental since '73.
Wow tony!!!!! What memories. I looked at my phone this morning and saw this link and couldn’t believe. Valdez in the country. Hadn’t heard that name or song in 50 years. Had played it back then in my band in Northern California. What a great tune and fun to play. Will do. And cold blood. Thanks for the memories!!!!!
We seem to have the same music taste.
I heard Tower of Power around 1971-72 and they have been my favorite band since then, but already by that time "Valdez" was my all time hit and still is! 🇸🇪
Wow, huge thanks for this. Trumpet player here, and I just couldn't get the changes (I think the sus chords threw me off). Nice solo; wanted to hear you keep going with it; but anyway thanks for making this vid; it's one of my all time favorite tunes. Now I think I can play it, LOL
One of my favourite tunes. I don't have a musical bone in my body (UK speak for no musical talent), but I found this fascinating . Exquisite performance, made my spine tingle!
Thanks, Tony, That was good fun. You are so charming when you look up at us (the camera) . It really makes a connection.
Thanks Tony! You're a hip guy 😂. Don't throw your hip out. Seriously, you fit a righteous need for piano players who are above beginning but below Barry Harris ( ha! Ha! Aren't we all ?) So keep it up 💪👍. Some more funk fusion stuff like Herbie Hancock and Keith Jarrett. Also explain polychords ala ECM style jazz. I feel there is a real need for that. Also most working pianists want to sound hipper than what they are so any souful gospel stylings like Les McCann would be appreciated. Starting out I loved Michael Omartian, John Hicks, Max Middleton, Leon Russell and Elton John. Their bluesy soulful rhythimic style truly excited me! Even today I still get a lot of compliments when I do my jazzy/gospel feel. Of course being a white B-3 player in a Black Baptist Church doesn't hurt either. That's also a great way to learn... Go study with gospel Hammond players. Thanks again!
been looking for the bassline forever, thanks to you i was able to figure out the frets, much thanks!
Glad I could help!
Haha, that's amazing Tony! Must say I underestimated your producing and editing skills.
Great stuff man! I've been binging your videos lately, and I'm having a blast!
Incredible! You are truly a one man band! Amazing how you put it all together in the studio 🎶
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love your lead sheet Tony! Thanks so much.
That was a Great album(Extension of a man) another song on that was "Love,Love,Love and his live version of this tune swings very nice. Great job
Thank you for creating content about Donny. He was the GREATEST
Great, Tony!
Excellent ! Une découverte remarquable.
Cool orchestration. 😎🌹
Excellent breakdown of this tune!!!
Thanx, Maestro. Great song. Reminds me of an Oakland Jazz jam session groove tune on a Sunday late afternoon. 🌹🌹🌹😎
thanks for the extra studio work. was awesome!
No problem!
Thanks Tony - this really brought me back to my cover band in the 70s, when we played this as a fun instrumental. Really appreciate the chart and all the great hint about what can work under these chords. I just wish you would have been around back then when I was trying to figure all this out by ear. It would have saved me some time! David J.

Doc Tony that was just fantastic I had no idea that you played several different other instruments. I definitely tip my hat to you! You have a great week. Doc Tony!!
Master : you're not a man : you're an Orchestra !!
Thank You for breaking this down..Great tune !
I love this song!
but I think difficult.
always looking my sound.
thank you very much!
maybe I can find,my new solo!
It would be more challenging with piano alone, or with piano and base alone. Any one can sound pretty good with all the extra instruments. You need chords on the piano that are more exotic or more powerful substitutions.These fusion songs are very different from traditional jazz in that the harmony has to be more with it or the piano chords sound weak.
The 1-4-5 line over the 7+9 rally has a sweet vibe, reminds me of Joe Sample. How did you arrive at this?
I dont understand .. give me a time stamp
Very cool. Question - what drum machine are you using. What is the hand controller and does it allow you to change the tempo of the drum machine as you are playing?
You should show some more of your studio jams - very interesting.
It's just a drum beat from the Yamaha MODX keyboard.
Tony, I really appreciate your help. (I sent some $)
