Duke Ellington titled his autobiography "Music is My Mistress." Well, if music is MY mistress than comedy is my girlfriend on the side when I get tired of my mistress. (Wait...what?!?) Anyway, I love a good laugh and Jimmy Fallon never fails to deliver. I loved watching him on "Late Night" and now he is seriously killing it on the "The Tonight Show." The Roots, "the best band in Late Night," add an incredible amount to the show, of course with their incredible musical flexibility and wittiness but also in their sporadic comedic performances. I love the play between Jimmy and Roots' keyboardist James Poyser during the weekly "Thank You Notes" sketch. I'm excited to teach to you all how to play Poyser's "Thank You Notes" piano music. Check out the video tutorial below.
By the way if you haven't heard of James Poyser, check him out...NOW! He's a fabulous pianist, keyboardist, & producer. He has worked with many great R&B and hip hop artists like J Dilla, Erykah Badu, D'Angelo, and Bilal and plays some REAL DEAL R&B and gospel keyboards.
Happy Shedding!
