10k Hi - Philippe Saisse
Вставка

- FULL DISCLOSURE: This is in no way intended to be a “tribute” to Al Jarreau… such monumental task should be a joint effort by all who had the joy and privilege of working with him, which are many, sharing their experience and own talent in unison to celebrate Al’s genius.
“10k Hi” was written by Al Jarreau and myself and appears on Al’s Heart’s Horizon 1988 album. The album was produced by George Duke and Jay Graydon except “10k High” which I produced, recorded by Eric Calvi and mixed by Erik Zobler.
For the original recording, I had thought of sampling Al’s vocals mimicking drums and percussive sounds, and create a drum template on the newly released Linn Drum machine. Those are the sounds we used as drums sounds almost exclusively on that track. Staying true to that concept, I decided to use my Steinway as a drum kit, using mallets and brushes.
Al’s wonderful original scat solo, which I had harmonized and orchestrated with sampled flutes (taking a cue from Claus Ogerman in HIS harmonization of Bill Evans extraordinarily melodic solo on “The Dolphin”) was reproduced in this version as well, albeit played on my Melodion and harmonized again with sampled flutes.
Al’s footage is from my 8mm video archives which I have recently discovered and had transferred, shot during a 1990 summer tour, which my keyboard technician at the time, Mike Burn, took from backstage. Some of the photos were taking during the “L Is For Lovers” recording session by my then keyboard technician Phil Romano, with Nile Rodgers, Anthony Jackson and Steve Ferrone, and during the live DVD recording of “Tenderness” with Jo Sample, David Sanborn, Marcus Miller, Steve Gadd, Eric Gayle, Paulinho DaCosta and Neil Larsen.
I am unable to put into words my emotions while re-living those musical moments with Al. I think the visuals and editing by Paul Diego Sanchez speak for themselves.
The video was produced by 🎬 @iammisterd for @readysetBAM

Philippe, ever since I heard "Says" I am overwhelmed by your music ... your genius ... ideas ... artistry ... sound! And your "Body & Soul Sessions" still makes me stand with open mouth. Your music hits my heart. Perhaps that's why you and Al in music went so well together!
I googled searched "10k higher al jarreau live" and this came up, I am absolutely blown away with this video. What a find. Reading your description and knowing you co-wrote this and produced this and your sheer musicality and this version of 10k and the video quality.. this is really incredible. So glad I got to find this video, thank you!
I love it! Now I got to go look for the original. I have to dig out my heart's horizon CD now.
