@liamjazz haha I was just with him for the last few days and I asked him about that yamaha horn. Indeed, he sounded very good at it, but he says it was a "big piece of garbage" :)
What a damn player he is, I hope he keeps coming here :)

Sorry, that's a low A bari, and definitely not the Conn he currently plays, which is a low Bb, of course. Not that it matters much.

In this video he is playing an old yamaha.
I recognise it because I used to play the exact same model. It was a horrible intrument to play. Garry sounds very good on it though.

This video is from the 1970's or 1980's. Garry plays a conn at the moment but in this video he is playing a yamaha baritone sax not a conn.

Screemin' Joe Rodriguez is on lead trumpet. I saw him with Woody's band in '79 at El Paso High School! Go Joe!

So true...Gary can get around anything. His otto link 11* is just proof of that
