Favorite musicial instrument, and musicians that play it? by D.A.L.U.I. on 06 Apr, 2009 04:40

I loaded my mp3 player last week to get it ready for a road trip. When I'd finished I reviewed the music and it came to mind that I obviously have a preference for one instrument and a couple of musicians who use it. I was curious, do the SLY brothers have a preference for a musical instrument and artists who use it?
My favorite instrument is piano.
My favorite musicians that use the piano are:
James Booker
Dr. John
Marcia Ball
What about the Brothers?

I love the saxophone. I'm not schooled enough in sax players to know who is good at it.... but I know it when I hear it.

Has to be the saxophone as well. Anyone remember Timmy Cappello. He played sax for Tina Turner a good few years ago. He also did a song for the soundtrack to Lost Boys called "I still beleive" Awesome!

Clarinet, both classical and jazz. The greatest clarinetist for jazz has got to be Benny Goodman. I also enjoy Eddie Daniels for jazz. Larry Combs, principal clarinetist for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Richard Stolzman are both fine crossover players.
Best classical clarinet piece ever: Mozart, Clarinet Concerto
Best contemporary piece: Berstein, Prelude, Fugue & Riffs, for clarinet & jazz ensemble -

Guitar has to be my favorite. Just sitting around a camp fire or where ever and just having fun.
My favorite guitarist? Well for now I will have to say my daughter Chelsea. -

Personally I'd have to say Guitar as well and as for favorite artist it'd definitely be Satriani!
After that I'm torn between the Kazoo, Triangle and the Juice Harp!!! -

have you ever heard of Jamie Cullum? Some of the brothers across the pond might have heard of him. Hes really good, and it looks like his live shows are a good itme. He plays the piano, then he uses the key cover for beatboxing. Its really neat.
My favorite instrument has to be a standup bass. The full, deep and rich sound of maple and spruce is calming, complex and serene. Its great.

I play the piano, keyboard, and bass guitar. Piano is my favorite. My wife and I play in our church's worship band, and she plays piano too, so I don't get to enjoy it much.
I like rock piano songs like from Coldplay and The Fray. -

Being a drummer I have to pick drums - for playing style I have to pick Keith Moon 'The Loon'. But for playing ability its got to be Chris Adler from the band Lamb of God. Chris Adler jamming away -

I played sax from elementary school through college. Played in jazz bands and really enjoyed it (wish I would have stuck with it, I was pretty good). Although sappy, Kenny G is an excellent straight soprano sax player (I tend to gravitate towards the modern style of jazz). Other sax players I like include Najee, Jeff Kashiwa (Rippingtons), and Dave Koz (you'd like him Mike
).

OK - This is going to sound crazy, but my favorite is the pipe organ.
I play piano and organ and love both actually.
www.pipedreams.org is a really awesome website if you're into organ music.
