I'm a bari player and I just got a recording of Lars Gullin. I really like his sound and I was wondering if anyone knew his setup or where I could find it.
any info on Bob Gordon's setup? I have the double cd "Quintet/Sextet". I think he has maybe the nicest bari tone I have ever heard, an incredible player.
...looks like it might be a Runyon from the shape of the beak and the writing
on the side, which is obviously hard to make, out - but the logo would've
been near that general spot, no ?
..and of course, he's playing the venerable Conn 12M.
Ive got a pic of Gullin playing a bottom Bb mark VI and a hard rubber berg larsen. Great sound he had... what did pepper adams use? Also check out this guy: Frank Basile, he plays great. Great tone: http://www.frankbasilemusic.com/
He did use the dukoff in '80 when he got the VI according to his intervwiew w/ sax journal. Guess the dukoff didn't work out and he switched to a lawton.
In a Downbeat interview he described how his Berg got so pitted it was unusable. He said that he was (at the time) playing on a Dukoff D6, "but I'm not sure I'll stick with it."
If you listen to "Urban Dreams" you get a double-edged sword: it was one of Pepper's best albums in terms of his playing but he's playing the Dukoff and sounds quite thin. He was playing a Lawton by the time he recorded with Kenny Wheeler on "Conjuration" and beyond.
