Pete is fantastic as usual.
Living in the provinces I didn't often get to hear the London musicians but I was fortunate enough to hear Pete on 3 occasions in Brighouse ,Wakefield and Bradford. Three great nights!

@maxfurey Although by no counts am I on any level near many jazz musicians, by implication I am not a musician by your standards, because I imrpov only. I don't think that's fair.

In the early 1950's the johnny Dankworth Seven came to Plymouth. I met Johnny when he demonstrated a plastic saxaphone in a room under a barbers shop.
Gould he be the Englishman who gave it to charlie Parker?

All musicians use notation and charts, i guarantee if the omnibook is there in front of him, he has put it there himself even if only for the chords of the tune. Don't be fooled. Professional players do not all have photographic memories and it in no way diminishes his skills, which are phenomenal. Hats off to Peter King.

@chameleoneyz221 Temper,temper now! But seriously, 4 years later and you should realise that this guy is a fantastic player. He is recognised both here and in the US as being so. You are of course entitled to your opinion, but when it is steeped in inacuracies and ignorance I do have to comment. Love and kisses..........!

@chameleoneyz221 Ignorant pratt. Learn some facts about Jazz. PK is known worldwide as being one of the best alto players alive

@TheJazz2002 As far as I know, he used this horn for a concert at Massey Hall after pawning his normal alto.
Charlie Parker could have played the crappiest student horn and made it sing.
