He played all sorts of woodwind and reed instruments: saxophones, clarinets, flutes, harmonicas, English horn, among others. Oh, and sometimes he played more than one saxophone or flute at a time–and it didn’t sound like rush hour traffic (unless he wanted it to, I guess).
Hmmm. I understand there are talented folks out there who double and triple and all that, but I’ve never known anyone to play two instruments at once. I’m guessing the writer meant that the musician could play the different saxes and flutes …? (Read here.)
Update
Having heard from the person who wrote the article, I can now say the guy did play more than one instrument at once. See for yourself. Unfortunately you can’t hear for yourself!
Update #2
It appears that one can hear him by clicking on a link at Wikipedia, but it didn’t work for me. So more searching took me to this and yes indeed, the guy plays more than one instrument at the same time. (You have to get through a bit of the video to get to the clip.)
Not my kind of music, but still … pretty amazing.
