About

Underexposed L.A. horn player Bobby King knows his way around a variety of instruments, including the tenor, alto and soprano saxophones, as well as bass clarinet, flute and the Japanese shakuhachi. He's equally capable playing straight-swinging Hard Bop and more outward-bound material, and has worked with an impressive list of talents both on record (Shelly Manne) and off (John Coltrane, Lionel Hampton and Stan Kenton).
