    Ken Wood - America

    Just found this YouTube video of Ken Wood playing his own arrangement of "America". Fabulous technical playing on what looks to be a B+H Imperial. Very interesting tuning slide trigger he's added to the horn. Might be harder on the thumb - but probably less moving parts and pivot points. I wish the balance of the recording was a bit better so we could hear Mr. Wood better, but excellent otherwise. He has what I'd call the 'Classic Besson Sound'.

    There are a few more videos here.

    There's one of him playing "The Volunteer" and "If I Love You".
