PETE KING .......AMAZING.

 

[Bunny Stewart]

Nice. Peter King's a great player. Check him out with the Charlie Watts big band. Great BeBop playeer.

Nice version. Vaguely reminiscent of Joe Henderson from his Lush Life record.

there's a great video up of joe Henderson playing it with just Herbie Hancock as accompaniment.

One word... boooring! Didn't like it - I've never got into Pete King.

This is a masterful performance. I admit it is not very accessible, but it is technically outstanding. LL is a superb tune, I spent an agreeable TWO YEARS working on this tune on the guitar. It is a complex and demanding song, one of Strayhorn's best

PETE KING .......AMAZING.

It was good but I don't see the big deal

That's a Yanagisawa isn't it?

For all those working on the Phil Barone tone production exercises, notice how much mpc he takes in.

I enjoyed that.

Is that Jeff Beck spectating?

I am 87 with Parkinsons disease and appreciate what it is to lose fingering
and wind. Pete has the fingers but he should put out the cigarettes that are obvious in his performance. I just bought an old Bundy alto that plays. I'll set it up and give it to a Middle school. $80 - can't go wrong on that.
I like Lush by Joe Henderson. Notice that he has the wind.

 

[Multi Reed]

That would have been an interesting jam. It looked like Jeff Beck on guitar and was that Jon Cleary sitting at the piano????

I have heard several things by Peter King and I have always admired his playing. Anyone heard the Tribute to Charlie Parker with Strings album by the Charlie Watts group live at Ronnie Scott's? A bit of fun.

I think there is also some footage somewhere of Peter King playing on Parker's original Grafton floating around too.

And for those who love Kenny G notice how he also plays off centre too lol :TGNCHK:

 

[harmonizerNJ]

That's an incredible display of chops by Peter King.
For me, the "content" was not at the same high level as the technical ability displayed.

 

[SaxyJ]

He has an amazing technique! I actually have not heard of him until now. The main players I usually focus for technical studies are Parker and Woods.

Anyways, thanks for the clip! I loved every second of it!

 

[HSkid]

it was too repetitive for my taste the rhythms have got to move around some. i liked about the first minute then i was done with his quick runs.
