I've had people say I sound like a mix of Deborah Harry and Gladys Knight. WOW. That would be super, I'd have lots more money to burn on horns and equipment, if that were true. I love so many artists, I'm sure my interpretation of their styles comes through a bit. You tell me, who do you think of when you hear me do my "thang"? On sax, I think when you hear my alto, I like to think you can hear the Sanborn, Maceo Parker influences, on my tenor, wow, I'm not sure. Someone said I had a Boots Randolph sound. I dunno...
("To Winter" by Claude McKay) Stay, season of calm love and soulful snows! There is a subtle sweetness in the sun, The ripples on the stream's breast gaily run, The wind more boisterously by me blows, And each succeeding day now longer grows....
Autumn Within (by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow) "... Birds are darting through the air, Singing, building without rest; Life is stirring everywhere, Save within my lonely breast...."
"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
