I had the great fortune to see Arnett twice. Years later he is still such a huge influence on my playing. Those wish they were Brecker clone nitwits who haven't listened to this stuff don't know half what they think they do. I play like this and the young guys in the band diss me while the audience keeps thanking me for my playing. This guy was a brilliant technician on the horn with something to say and a great spirit. Arnett is one of the all time GREATS!!

You said it man. One wonders whether it is technical perfection that draws crowds, or feeling (soul). I think the latter.

Go Arnett go! He was a master. You can listen to his music every day and discover something new in it. I love the stuff he did with Lockjaw.

I totally agree with Eddie. A tone like Arnetts takes years to develop. Most of these new guys play from the neck up! There were many, many great players before Coltrane.

Hey how come he's not playing more notes... Didn't he 'tend Berklee? Where are all the modes... This is not real Jazz ! ! ! Real Jazz is about playing really long soul less solos with lots of lydian chromatic thingamabobs and should never be in odd tempos or have "blue" notes... This *almost* makes me want to tap my feet... How primitive ! ! !

(* * * * * of course... My friend Austin Mitchell plays organ on Arnett's CD of the same name. He's now nearing 90!)

I got in trouble for saying nasty things like that Eddie. Good comment. I was criticizing some of our modern players for "running their fingers". I think a simple melody (like Mary Had A Little Lamb) would suffice. But, played with soul (space, feeling).

I had Jerry Weldon on my last CD... one of the few players still blowing with that big soulful sound... When you hear a young Berklee guy you think "Oh, how great he is!" but when you hear a player like Cobb you FEEL it... its really a physically and emotionally overwhelming experience... especially if you're in the room... There are a few players who still have that sound, but sadly few players are under pressure to blow their butts off... hot and bluesy is out... cool and boring is in... :-(
