Re: EWI looping by Jeff Kashiwa on youtube

["aaron leese" <aaronleese@hotmail.com>]

Yeah, I saw Brecker playing the EWI with HErbie Hancock a couple years 
back 
... made everyone in the audience want to run out and buy one.  I was 
checking ebay the next morning ....

on another note .... I am suprised I never hear anyone hear mention Keller 
Williams .... arguably one of the best loop musicians out there .....

this is part two of "juggler" ... you can see him build the initial loop 
in 
part one ...

just wondering if anyone else has seen this guy ??
