It was Ray Sylvester who made the arrangement with one of his Arrangers, “Ed Watson“ to check out Leroys keyboard skills. Watson was strongly impressed with Leroys playing technique so that he wrote out an entire system for chord structure, saying “this is all you need“, everything else is super. After a few days he could play the 7th´s 9th´s 13th´s augmented chords, you name it.
