Jim R Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 I guess I really don't have a strong favorite (this is the third time I've opened this thread ). If pressed for an answer, I suppose I would have to agree with Dan and his comments re Kenny Drew... but I love a number of other pianists who recorded with Dexter as well. As long as Dexter's there, I'm pretty happy (not too fond of Cables or George Duke, though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 No love for Lightsey it seems. Too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 Sorry, but just the thought of Kirk the dome gives me the willies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 I listen with my eyes closed, but I sympathize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleM Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 I think that I realized it first when listening to "The Squirrel" on BN, that Kenny D. was the man to be playing w/ Dex. But man, I love me some Sonny C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 Love 'em all, can't choose. Kirk Lightsey definitely should be on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
