According To Count He Sometimes Listens Songs 100 Times Before Turning Them Into His Own Arrangement Via Sampling. “Jussa Playa” Was No Exception. “I Took The Lyric ‘just A Player On An Old Piano.’ And Just Started From There One Day When I Was Listening To The Song For The One Hundred And First Time ” He Wrote. A Rough Sketch Of The Beat Seemed Suitable For An Interlude But Count Didn’t Have Any Major Plans For It. Then He Started Imagining Different Scenarios For How He Could Build The Song Into Something More. “I Started To Get All These Ideas Of A Piano Player Who Is Actually A Player With The Ladies Most Piano Players Are Huge Macks . So I Said This Will Be The Piano Player Anthem For All Piano Players ” He Wrote. He Found Another Element That Helped Bring The Whole Song Together While Watching A Video From The Library About Jazz Music. During One Of The Scenes A Famous Musician Explains The Importance Of Piano Mastery—a Lecture He Apparently Gave To Miles Davis. The Artist Said "You Got To Learn How To Play The Piano. You Must Learn How To Play The Piano So You Can See The Whole Spectrum Of The Notes That You Want To Play Instead Of Playing One Note At A Time.” - Words By Gino Sorcinelli Via SubStack Nov. 1 2019
