Gardner is one of the underrated players, IMHO. He´s played lead for countless bands, yet doesn´t seem to get the recognition he deserves.
Does anybody know what equipment he uses? I´ve seen him with Bach trumpets on photographs, but what about the mouthpiece?

I was with a friend once who asked Earl what he was playing and he went on to say "I'm playing on a 30,000 dollar vintage blah blah blah and my mouthpiece is a classic 10,000 blah blah blah made by blah blah blah"
- He never answered the question, but went on to say he could care less about what he or anyone else played on and that it was unimportant....maybe nobody knows? |

Actually, that's an interesting answer to the question that Earl gave I think. A wide-spread adoption of his attitude would eliminate about half the discussions around here.

Back in the 70's he was playing a Bach LB, Reeves MP. If I remember it was a 42 rim, maybe a shallow cup. That was back when he was "big bird!" He was here last year with Mingus Big Band, sounded wonderful. Don't think he's an equipement junkie, just a truly great player.

Earl uses a LB Bach w/25 bell.
And I just realized.....I don't think I ever asked about his mouthpiece.

| When this thread started years ago Earl played a Reeves 42S with a 692 backbore,. He had done so since at least 1976. I don't know if Earl is still playing that today. |
