Ronald Jenkees
Hi everyone,
My friend Eric (check his shit out, it's sick) recommended this guy named Ronald Jenkees to me. Aside from clearly being an incredible pianist, he's mastered the Yamaha Motif synthesizer.
This specific tune kind of goes through a few different genres. We could call parts of it post-jazz, pop, or electro. What I think is really the most impressive thing about this guy is that, while most producers nowadays will shoot all this stuff into a sequencer and just let it play, this is a guy who can actually reproduce his material in a live context. Considering the technicality of the keyboard parts, this is quite a feat.
Be sure to check out his other videos. He's got some really terrific material that's more jazz-and-classically-oriented.
Anyone got odds on whether Timbo stole any of this guy's material?
