I agree that he is one of the baddest players around, and really deserves far more recognition than he gets. <BR/><BR/>David V apprises his playing well, I think. Rich is an extremely advanced bop player who happens to resolve to the s #11 where the rest of us are resolving to 1! I've had the opportunity to take a couple of lessons with him, and you should hear him play 'straight bop'. Sounds like Bird on tenor. <BR/>He's really a very special playerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13630144.post-1140594310865441712006-02-21T23:45:00.000-08:002006-02-21T23:45:00.000-08:00Chicklit, I'm glad you gave him a chance.

It took you a while to like him and you've been playing saxophone most of your life.<BR/>So it's wonder the general Jazz audience isn't hip to him. He's TOO HIP! I think when people hear for the first time he sounds too random and out there. He's really much more of an inside bop player once you listen carefully. Everything resolves, no matter how out there he gets. His understanding of substitute changes is incredible and <BR/>every note swings so hard.David Carlos Valdezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02338319345488366328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13630144.post-1135797801640354322005-12-28T11:23:00.000-08:002005-12-28T11:23:00.000-08:00His solos on Maria Schneider's recordings are alwa...His solos on Maria Schneider's recordings are always amazing - especially the ones on "Concert in the Garden"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
