Keith Emerson

Keith was the ‘Jimi Hendrix’ of the Rock keyboardists. A renegade from the Royal College of Music, he was the first to bring the keyboards front & center into R&R. You may have thought his vision was born of ambition, yet here he confesses it was mostly by accident. The man’s influence on modern music is incalculable, yet Keith was as cool & as genuine as can be. He called the radio show to discuss his Keith Emerson Band & their US tour. And as with so many of the brilliant artists who visited the show, it’s refreshing to hear how passionately Keith considered his newest projects. His reverence for his own creativity was infectious & will get you totally motivated about improving your own work, whatever the nature of your own work may be.. R.I.P Keith.
