F.A.Q.

1) [by far The most Frequently Asked Question] What kind of reed and mouthpiece does Chris use?
 
This response is quoted verbatim, directly from Chris via email:
 - On tenor Old Otto Link metal mouthpiece opened up to an 8*, with 3 medium or 3 hard filed Rico Jazz Select reeds.
 - On soprano Old Selmer Soloist hard rubber E opening with the same kind of reeds.
 - On alto Also an old Selmer Soloist hard rubber (It’s been worked on so I don’t really know the opening) with the same kind of reeds.

 
2) Who’s writing this site anyway?
 
Sorry, it never occurred to me that anyone would wanna know...
My name’s John MacLeod, I live about an hour away from Toronto, Canada, and I’ve been listening to jazz pretty seriously since about 1974. I have no professional connection with Chris, I’ve never met him and I doubt that I ever will, I’m not even in the music business. I am simply a fan: I put this site here on my own initiative because I believe so strongly in Chris’s work and I want to make more people aware of it.
I also don’t earn a living of any description from this site; I’m not a professional webmaster either. I hold down an office gig somewhere to pay the bills, so everything you see here is a labor of love. And really, I’m more a cartoonist than a musician, but hey: who said cartoonists can’t dig music?!
