But mostly octaves -- in fact, Roy is a total master of octaves, at playing them rapidly & trippingly & frippingly & oh so quite hippingly. He's a big crashy stashy slashy mashy piano player, with near-total technical control of the ivories. I like the atmosphere he gave to all those old songs, like JUNGLELAND, OUT IN THE STREET, THE PROMISED LAND, & ROSALITA. I mean, GOLD & BRAID wouldn't be half the song it is without him.
