There's this french guy called RV (Hervé) Salters. He plays a mad keyboard. If I was starting any sort of band that needed a funky vibe, I would try to recruit him. He has a band called General Elektriks. He also plays in Honeycut. He often tours and plays for Blackalicious and other l label artists. He has a few tracks that feature Lateef the Truth Speaker on vocals. And, most importantly, he dances better than any keyboardist I have ever seen. Here are some videos of some of his wacky-crazy keyboard skills. The funky wah-guitar sound you're hearing is his clavinet keyboard. Get Funky!

Tough Kid (Honeycut) listen to the beginning, then skip to 3:50 for some mad dance moves
I agree on the favorite keyboardist pick. RV Salters is one of the funkiest contributors to music these days..especially coming from the bay.
ReplyDeleteI found your blog searching for confirmation that its his key on the Mighty Underdogs track "UFC Remix"..couldn't be mistaken.
