But Irving (who's known to friends as Baabe, which is pronounced like Bobby) is also an acoustic pianist who loves the sound of the instrument and has been busy for years providing that sound in a variety of settings. He doesn't talk like an electric Miles alumnus. He appreciates all types of music--as evidenced by his broad experiences--and all the things electronics can provide. And he's damn good at it.
AAJ veteran contributor R.J. DeLuke spoke with Irving recently, about his years with Miles, and his new acoustic piano trio record, New Momentum. Irving has plenty of stories to tell, old and new.
