Wow!
It's one of those "I give up. Anyone want to buy a tenor?" moment.

Doc.....different strokes, different folks. The thing that impresses me is I've known Keith mainly for his alto playing. He started playing with Les McCann when he was straight out of high school....and he also plays on Al Jarreau's latest CD. So sorry his playing doesn't do it for you....major jazz stars seem to dig it though.While its hard not to admire the guy's stamina I really can't see what's so special about his playing. OK live it probably gets the crowd worked up the first time they hear it but after a while all that honking and wailing just gets tedious. And I think his tone is boring as well.
I know, I've never seen bass clarinet rocked like that. Didn't know it could be done.I didn't know Marcus Miller played a mean bass clarinet. He sounds pretty good.
Have you heard this one before?Bfahle, thanks for that clip, it's some seriously funky junky. Keith sounds wicked in that clip... and if I'm not mistaken, mouthpiece freaks, I believe he's playing a stock Keilwerth piece and getting THAT sound out of it! Candy's great at what she does, too.
Great clip, thanks! Last time I saw Keith play he was using a stock Keilwerth mouthpiece on tenor, I don't know what he was playing on alto but I think it was some kind of stock piece, too. Doesn't seem to hold him back in the slightest.... good lesson for all of us.Have you heard this one before?
I read on the cannonball website he uses the stock mpc :shock: is that still true?
That Cat is BAADDDD!!!Check this out: Jacques Schwartbart on tenor
What makes this band great is the diversity of the different musicians.
Killer band!!!
