Matt, my friend! It's time to record an album of this kind of music! This is a real miracle! We are really waiting!

After 40 years of playing the piano you made me buy my first analog synth. And now I want a Vintage Vibe. Following your channel is starting getting expensive. 😂Everything you do is musical, tasteful and just wonderful to listen to.

The voicing slider is such a brilliant invention which brings so much. Almost so obvious that one wonders why it wasn’t thought of sooner. (I do seem to recall some kind of mechanical mod from the Dyno days which one operated with one’s knee, but can’t remember what it is right now.) When I owned a Rhodes, I found it a shame that revoicing was such a long process and impractical. Bravo Vintage Vibe! I hope this becomes an option on all the builds, not just the signature models.

Great video as always, Matt. Thanks!

The rapport between the piano and synth is truly dreamy! I think the trick here is what's up your sleeve.

Jason Kay is so blessed to have you onboard. These vids have put you right up there with my favs (Herbie, Stevie, Patrice Rushen, Greg Philinganes, Dwele, and the late great Toby S.).

Ended up here from the Vintage Vibe Lady Day and John Coltrane vid. How has this been hiding from me? What a treat! So grateful the "sound" is being improvised into the current time. This is essential. Thank you!

Awesome! Don't forget to release the full jam sessions please!

I bought my Rhodes Stage Piano in 1972. I gave it to my best friend in 1999 when I moved to Vegas.It's still working. I no longer had a need for an EXTREMELY heavy instrument that only had ONE SOUND. I've been using a Kurzweil ever since. I would consider this model because I can change the sounds. It's a real pain if you're a gigging musician to haul around something as heavy as a Rhodes when the audience you're playing for (and people listening to your uploads on Spotify and Youtube) can't tell the difference. I want to know how much does this unit weigh? If it's heavy, I can see it staying in the studio, but it ain't going to the gig.

It's a beautiful instrument. Congratulations! Sixty years in this planet and always there is a place in any song for this piano. Rhodes sound is forever.

[glennanderson]

Congrats Matt! No one has championed the Rhodes experience more in this day and age. With the variable pickup (sounded like you could get into Wurly territory); active pre amp and that red paint job this is a '70s time machine. You guys sound sweet.😎

[fallingmanjutsu]

Absolutely wonderful! Sounds heavenly. Love Vintage Vibe, those guys have passion and generosity that’s unmatched in the business. Congratulations Matt! Moog it’s your turn now, release a signature MJ black matte finish model D with ivory keys!! Haha

[pedrokremermotta]

OH MY GOD THAT VOICING STICK IS GENIUS!

[TheTonyTitan]

I'd pay for a sample pack full of these jam sessions

[jakehendriksen]

That Variable Voice Control is incredible.

[MattJohnsonskeyspace]

I have to write one correction. The pick ups were designed by Kevin Beller. It's him that is specifically responsible for the sound not Seymour

[etpslick]

Damn! That thing sounds so beautiful! Congrats Matt! I like the Rhodes MK 8 also. But the VV has a certain character that I like. Just a matter of choice! I just wish VV would make a 88 key version. I played a MKII suitcase 88 model and never look backed. I can see a 88 key version with midi/usb interface. Vintage Vibe is the shot!😌🎹❤️👍🏾

This is lovely. You get such a beautiful sound from the Vintage Vibe. This to me is the THE sound of the 70s. The Moog sound is very nice too, that woozy Boards of Canada feel. Thanks for sharing this

[frankpiccinini]

Fred diLeone mastery at it's finest! The new mod is not only spectacular, it's REFRESHING. It's about practicality and it's for REAL musicians. It's not about having a preamp with questionable effects, that will sound the same for everyone. 

In a car, we would care about having a more performing engine, not about green neon fog lights.

Loved the demo, simple, effective and it finally shows what you can do with such a piano in a small ensemble.

Cheers, Matt!

The drummer and bassist are both excellent! Locked into the groove, the precision of the drummer is dude!
