Vince herring is my favorite alto player right now. For my money, he has the has the best combination of tone, technique and ideas of anyone out there.
You have to listen too master players,(Current players buy C.D."s)also need senstive piano players and bass who can hear, giving the soloist a taking off point Most piano players try too play almost as much as the soloist,I tend not too listen to modern players because they lack good section mates which in my opinion makes the bands sound like good players not great.I guess that's why I'm on Youtube to hear something good.
Herring is the real deal, man. With so many young players who are really jive.... they aren't ready, but they "look" the part, including that jive "life is hard" face... and their out of the book Mike Brecker licks, there is a real guy who can blow changes and play a well thought-out solo. There aren't many of my peers I like, but Vincent is certainly one I enjoy.
Wow!!! It's been a long time since I've been that moved by a contemporary alto player. Great sound! Great expression! Great imagination! Great lyrical sense! And the band sounds terrific behind him!!! I want to play with the big people, like these guys!!!!! completely first class!!!!!!
I agree one hundred percent... Contemporary jazz musicians often can't improvise like VH. the man is superb. Though I'm not gona rule them all out there many that can step up to that plate. One of them that I absolutely love is Gerald Albright. Awesome cat, to say the least...

@masongensman Why would you? Better learn to play drums and lose that extra energy on the ride cymbal.

Vincent Herring is a monster, listen to his song Folklore.
It took my breath away, such a great musician

This is so good it makes me want to play!
I'd have to say Cannonball is my favorite alto player, along with Sonny Rollins as my favorite tenor player.

Espetacular ... uma das minhas músicas preferidas, numa interpretação linda. Pena que o vídeo não vai até o final ...
Esse vídeo, e os outros do festival, fazem parte de um DVD?
