  • I feel like when he talks, it's sort of the same as the way he plays. very smooth, a bit deliberate, not afraid to say something controversial that sets him apart.

  • "i like em all, cos they all sound the same tom" so dry... pres was always a true individualist in everything he did. the man literally invented the modern use of the word 'cool', and 'i got eyes for xxxxx' rip pres

  • But all the top guys today are again playing the old horns ... Conn 10M pre Mark V1 Selmers etc

  • A unique and gentle soul who could break your heart in a few breathy phrases. The Prez is, and always will be, The Prez.

  • Well, 1958... everybody playing the same??? Like Bird, trane... cannonball... eric dolphy [maybe he wasn't on the scene yet] but... sad...

  • lester is the shit
