Hey, everybody! A little update on where I’m going to be and what I’m going to be up to in the next little while here, starting with a cool piece of news that makes it hard to get to sleep: I will once again be working on a CD with Herbie Hancock, doing my virtual orchestra and probably some additional noises on his forthcoming CD. This is always a BIG HUGE BUZZ for me, as someone who really cut his teeth on all Herbie’s discs from 8th grade on, it is a thrill to work with him. This one’s being produced by Kendrick Lamar’s producer Terrace Martin, so should be huge fun!
Jazz Piano Lesson from George Whitty on Pentatonics
Tue, 04/05/2016 - 10:44am
Imagine yourself at a party where you don't know anyone. After making small talk with a few people, you notice that in the corner sits an old dusty piano that no one is playing. It keeps calling to you from across the room... maybe it's lonely? Although it's been awhile, you fancy yourself a piano player so eventually you work up the nerve to go over and introduce yourself. "Hello, I don't think we've met."
The piano stays silent, yet so seductive that before you know what's happening, you're sitting down and ready to tickle the proverbial ivories. But there's already music going in the background, so now what do you play?

George Whitty on Working with Santana
Tue, 03/08/2016 - 4:59pm
One day in about 1998, I got a call from someone asking if I was available to do some recording with Carlos Santana. Rodney Holmes, who was then playing drums with Carlos, had recommended me. They were recording at Electric Lady in Manhattan, and of course I was available to record with Carlos Santana - as a true believer I was thrilled to get called. That was right around a time, also, where I had become quite obsessed with Woodstock (the original, of course!), making various pilgrimages up to the site, reading several books, grooving on the excellent documentary almost nightly. And of course Carlos really lit that festival on fire.
