at about 33.00 she goes off on a monolog on Birds of Paradise. ( !!) wow... she is a trip.. I love her !! She seems so cool, sooo smart, so enthused about what she is doing, so nice to her bandmates( who seem to realize just how lucky they are) . I think she is my new fave musician...
I think the late, great Gil Evans would have been delighted to see how his immensely talented protégé has turned out-a wonderful upload, thank you.

This has been so encouraging, I’m going to Soka performing arts center today and look forward to the healing power music for my family and I. My father, Carl, who passed away a little over a year ago I was a strong person supporter of Soka University. He always commented on how he saw great change in me as a member of the parent organization and this is a testament to that endeavor.
Any way to hear this concerto tomorrow ONLINE?

Lucky 7(0) !! On daddy's Mark VI ;)
....Frank Strozier!!..mentioned by Smulyan.
amazing!
Great! I have aways liked Ralph´s playing on his Link but I think this mouthpiece really suits him for this setting. Can anyone tell me what it is?
Hi! Thanks for watching the interview. I will ask around here if anyone knows.
I believe the piece Ralph is playing is a Francois Louis custom, he's been playing it for over 20 years. Lovano, who has a shop full of equipment, looks to be playing a gold plated mkvi with a KB neck??
@@leanmchungry4735 Thank you very much!
Joe.... Thrills
