  • Fans of Lenny Pickett will cherish this interview. His signature sound, style, technique and intensity is unsurpassed - he commands his genre. After listening in awe since the 70's i finally hear this interview where he provides a candid, intelligent and articulate self history. Great stuff as top musicians often don't say much about their past or don't have a gift for speaking as well as playing. Proof too that he used the school system and practiced many hours; Thanks for sharing Lenny! Wow!

  • amazing saxaphonist! crazy to think his skill was all self taught

  • I started playing sax at age 8, god, 21 years ago now and took lessons from a man in his 70's named bill phile. I remember him asking my mom if I could stay up late on a Saturday and watch the opening to snl because I had to see their tenor player and the crazy harmonics he could play. Years later I find out that mr Pickett is from the east bay ljust like me and I feel a sense of pride in that

  • thank-you ohdalhorn, and step dad!
