He definitely has an ear for music tho
oh, and while we're on the subject of good piano players, let's give it up for Herbie Hancock...the guy learned it later in life, and plays some weird ****ing chords. This is why if you ever listen to El Toro it sounds random as hell, bt it still works.

Alb-D said:Herbie hancock been playing all his life.. he started when he was young. He was a prodigy as a child.. ahead of his time, he played concert halls.. etc.
Now B.cox is sick, he went to the Houston school of performing arts here in houston.. with the likes of great jazz pianst Robert Glasper, and beyonce.. plus he played in the church over at Blue run.. so he has a great ear.
Now I sat in a session with mannie fresh over at studio 7303 (houston, tx) three weeks ago, he could play a lil. But he couldn't hold his on against me, but dude is mad talented.

ianscott111 said:I guess you know a little something about the piano ! It's good to see other pianists/keyboardists on here. I'm actually classically trained, but I been teaching myself jazz over the past 6-7 years (16+ years of classical training though). I didn't know B.Cox went to Houston School of Performing Arts, but if he did, he obviously knows what he's doing. I actually wanted to go to Rice for a Master's degree in piano performance, but my grades weren't good enough (haha). From what I heard, Mannie Fresh would hire musicians from around the New Orleans area to play on his tracks. Doesn't really matter though - I'm a huge fan of his music. That man is one of the alltime greats when it comes to hiphop production.
