No offense--but Garth Hudson never wrote a piano concerto or symphonic work and performed it with an orchestra, nor is he on recording improvising fugues. <br /><br />Mr. Hudson is really really good--member of "The Band" among other work. <br /><br />The other three are "Bach, Beethoven, Brahms". Garth Hudson is Handel--was popular, some really good jams, but not quite the 'greatest' label..sorry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-44850567620506620932016-03-15T13:18:48.375-05:002016-03-15T13:18:48.375-05:008:21 It's a shame you apparently have never he...8:21 It's a shame you apparently have never heard Garth Hudson, who could play more with two hands than the three you mentioned could do with six hands combined, but had the good taste to refrain from doing so :-)<br /><br />It's a sad end for Emerson though. His version of Meade Lux Lewis's "Honky Tonk Train Blues" was remarkable for what he could do with just a plain old pianner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-4991153177723081162016-03-15T12:31:58.652-05:002016-03-15T12:31:58.652-05:00Some may not know that he is covering "Blue R...Some may not know that he is covering "Blue Rondo a la Turk" from Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" album.<br /><br />He's covering it damn well.Burkenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-57281862560367752482016-03-15T08:21:31.796-05:002016-03-15T08:21:31.796-05:00The greatest keyboard player in rock history to th...The greatest keyboard player in rock history to this point. (Rick Wakeman and Lon Lord are close--but not quite this level.)<br /><br />With all the MIDI keyboard stuff now (more specifically using pre-recorded tracks in live performance), we may never have someone at this level again...and that's a shame.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
