Homeskoolin’ “The Genius Of Gordon Mote (Pt. 2)"

Here he is again folks.
A clip from a session we did today with Vince Gill at Vince’s studio in Nashville...
I thought you guys might learn a lot from seeing Gordon play some beautifully understated shit on an actual track in a large ensemble, instead of the usual effortless mind boggling feats of solo piano showbiz you guys are used to witnessing him do.
Dig the otherworldly touch…dig the ancient pocket.
This is once in a lifetime shit here friends.
There are literally only a few people left on this entire planet who can play LEGIT traditional old school country and western piano in it's purest form and successfully conjure the ghosts of Pigg Robbins and Floyd Cramer, and TWO of those people are on this very same session...Gordon and John Jarvis.
Believe me, we all clearly realize how spoiled we are....it's like having Jim Brown and Walter Payton in the same backfield....fun stuff kids

The Bromance between Gordon and Uncle Larry is so wholesome. The vibes are immaculate.

Talk about a national treasure…….there are only so many musicians that have that kind of feel for the music. Every video Gordon is in I watch the whole thing. Music 101 every time. God bless you Gordon and thank you Uncle Larry for sharing these moments with your friends with us. What a privilege!

Without a doubt one of the most gifted musicians on the planet. His soul and wit is infectious. Timeless shit

“Soul and Wit”….yes sir

Listen to that comping. Every note is at an even volume. When he does the upper register fills Gordon naturally pops the notes out, but still even. The engineer doesn’t have to fiddle with the faders. I still remember Gordon’s amazing playing with Alabama on “Just a Closer Walk With Thee”. One of the best.

If not for Tom and Homeskoolin, I would not know who Gordon Moot is. I've since learned he had a solo albums and is a wonderful singer as well. Its good to be a HomeSkooler!! I also learned I had been spelling Skool wrong.

You can tell a pro session guy immediately even if you just hear the last chord. They know to let it ring until it completely dies naturally and don’t start talking,leaving it to the engineer to do the fade. God that Yamaha sounds good!
