I have seen him twice in about the last year. Even though
he is well into his seventies, the man can still blow! He
is a national musical treasure who manages to combine great virtuosity and technical skill with the joy that he so obviously puts out there when he plays. Although he is a great technical player, there is nothing analytical about his music. He is the last of a kind, in my opinion. It will be a long time before anyone comes up to challenge him. GO!
