Great Players King Curtis & Champion Jack Dupree.

A rare series of video's of King Curtis two month's before his murder. Showing his " smack tongue " and his version of the trill on the side keys. I would put the link up but they never work for me. Just go on youtube for Champion Jack Dupree & King Curtis. A trip back to the jazz festival 1971.

Cos you need a new, very expensive sax.... And time to get up to standard. Missed a chance, methinks... ;}

That one's not going to fly, I fear. With three saxes around the place, the best I can hope for is the odd new mouthpiece now and again!

Hey, but think positive - it's my birthday tomorrow - maybe that big package I saw being delivered earlier is the Andy Sheppard tenor - is there a Hong Kong model?
 
And he was an artist as well. He lived for some years here in Sweden (Scania) in the early 70's. Look at some of his paintings:

I would like arrange a concert with Champion Dupree music. Sax Gordon recorded with Dupree in the early 90's and he knows a piano player in Germany that can play in Dupree's style. And then Champion's guitarr player, Ken Lending, is living in Copenhagen ....
 

Similar threads... or are they? Maybe not but they could be worth reading anyway 😀
