Good reminder on Shorter, whose dry plaintive bleating I do enjoy, and Kirk, who is always entertaining and never short of musical content, even when he's emulating locomotive airhorns or impressionist confetti. The great bebop guys, sure, in some dosage. I guess I just don't have the attention span to follow the content of their longest most apparently formless excursions. (I have the same problem with Jeff Beck's more extreme Jan Hammer adventures, and Cream's longest live improvs. It's not that I don't LIKE any of this material, it's that it requires a huge commitment to absorb and takes too much out of me...)
I guess I should mention Ian McDonald and Mel Collins of early King Crimson, and The Nuclear Whales Saxophone Orchestra, which is always a hoot.
Can we talk about clarinet now? Woody Herman and Benny Goodman?
The World Saxophone Quartet are great.
Clarinet - Eric Dolphy
Lester Young swing to bop they didnt call him pres for nothing Sonny Stitt tenor and alto Pepper Adams Gerry Mulligan bari Sidney Bechet soprano Charlie Parker said by many musical scholars the most influential man in 20th century music. So many ledgens on sax Don Bias Zoot Sims Johnny Hodes no one can bend a note like Johhny and the bluest cat of all time the late but great Eddie Cleanhead Vinson. BIRD LIVES
The great Sidney Bechet Johnny Dodds Edmond Hall and Irvin Fazola the Influence of Pete Fpuntain all from New Orleans. Buddy Defranco Artie Shaw Benny Goodman with Eddie Daniels and Evan Christopher among the new players. New Orleans is still the hotbed of clarinet players we have about a dozen first class players that get plenty of work.
I saw Wayne Shorter live too... he was great!
Sonny Stitt is the most under appreciated sax player of all time. I saw him live here in Cleveland in the late 70s. Angela Davis was in the audience. Even revolutionaries need a night out on the town.
Stitt is it but Bird is the word

Yes, it is a pink Tele.
It's my girlfiend's 72 reissue Fender Thinline in shell pink. She picked it up in Nashville several years ago and appropriately named her "Dixie"
That said, the Fender CD160E 12 string acoustic and Taylor 110 also belong to her.

Cheap Ibanez for drunk party players
Just been doing some recording so here are some of mine. The T-type is a swamp ash Dearnaley Taff Delta and the Tennessean is a '63 with TV Jones Classics. Then there's a late '62 Strat and a '61 Gibson ES330 and they're all leaning up next to a '51 Fender Deluxe.
Sorry they're sideways
