Children sing before they talk and dance before they walk. Music is that good.

James Carter is the new John Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, Charles Lloyd, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, King Curtis, Junior Walker, and Michael Brecker - all in one. 🔥 Sam Newsome is master of all that extraneous feats - gimmicks, if you will.

imagine with all your other commitments, music business details, and everything else in the music business consumes you as a musician and still taking the time to go and speak to a high school class? "Always say yes!" is a compelling message for anyone. Thank you for posting these clinics. They offered great insight into a very thoughtful and profound musician. When you see him dancing on stage with Tower of Power in the early days, it's pure bliss and you hear it when he talks about music.

It is a strap to hold saxaphaphones to make it less of a strain when standing up and playing.

He makes Clarinet Cool. I switched from Clarinet to Tenor Sax in school band, because...because Clarinet was so geeky. Btw, Lenny Pickett is Jeff Garlin's brother from another mother..

There comes a time when something is used tastefully and it has a huge impact. Then there is something that is overdone or over used and it's just annoying and boring. Lenny tends to overdue stuff. Lay back on the high notes and listen to Miles. Sometimes less is more.

Definitely a matter of opinion. Also to tell an artist to play like someone else defeats the whole purpose.

Because of Bert I got to meet and play and hang with some of the world's best musicians, including Lenny, and especially Bert Wilson himself.. Someone has posted DEDICATED TO FRIENDS AND MOTHERS on KZbin with the studio version of "For Jim Pepper." with Zitro on drums and singing a chant that Pepper taught him.

way back when i was even a more ignorant punk kid than i am today, like back in 1980, really, I am not making that up, i got the 'Waiting for Columbus' tape by Little Feat (this is way before CDs). there is a lot of great music on that recording, but one tune, Mercenary Territory, stands out for its blow-your-mind sax solo that leaves you wondering how a human being could be capable of making music like that. it turns out it is this humble, brilliant man, Lenny Pickett. i only recently put two-and-two together. Thank you for posting this.

Lenny Pickett, prime example of not needing a formal education to be an amazing muscian. Don't mean to belittle formal education, but I think informal mentorship and hard work is the way to go.
