Q: ‘I think Mr. Wright's keyboard work during the early Floyd years was one of the most distinctive elements of the band's sound, and was definitely a key to the band's success. Who were the influences on this keyboard style in the beginning?’
“That is interesting. I would have to say, not necessarily keyboard players actually influenced my sound. For example, I can give you a good example, one of the people I was very influenced by was Miles Davis, the trumpeter and his style of playing the trumpet certainly influenced the way I played the keyboards and also Bill Evans. Simply look at Jazz and that has influenced my way of playing the keyboard.” — Richard (Rick) Wright.
Dave Harris & Richard Wright, photographed for their project album, ‘Identity’, MCMLXXXIV.
Identity with Zee's David Harris. Really a super experimental album. Rick was not connected with the project and most of the ideas came from David. Actually Richard suffered a kind of blank between 1979 and 1987 when he was reintegrated in Pink Floyd as an official member.
