Fender Rhodes solo by Toby Smith from 'Mr Moon' from Jamiroquai's second album 'Return Of The Space Cowboy'. The sophomore effort by Jamiroquai showcases Toby's incredible sounding suitcase Rhodes right from the opening of the album, which is a descending wholetone scale at the start of 'Just Another Story'. Mr Moon is just one of those songs where everything came together and it sounds fantastic - spacey chords, great lyrics, a killer bassline from Stuart Zender and an inspired solo from Toby on the Rhodes at the end. I've extended the outro (which is faded out on the album) by adapting what Toby typically played at gigs back then. I used to play this track with my band Acuphuncture (when it was still going), and we finished the song like this, cueing into the outro after the solo. I've got magical memories of playing this on my Rhodes at St John's College May Ball in Cambridge (June 2006) - it was 4am, the sun was just beginning to come up - there was a really light summery rain in the air but it was still warm, and everybody in the court was dancing to this...happy times :D Anyway, because the chords are fairly complex I've yet to see somebody transcribe or play this accurately - here on youtube, or anywhere else for that matter. The voicings in this video should all match the original recording, so hopefully it will be helpful for anybody who wants to play the keyboards for this.
