I heard him live a couple years ago and he was playing a 900 series Monette at the time. I don't know what he plays now.

He was playing a Monette when the LCJO came to Calgary in February.

He's got a Monette that was designed just for him. They describe it as being a lead and small group jazz horn. In fact when I was ordering my Monette I would have gone for that one if it wasn't only availible in the Prana format..... The model is called the 994WJ.

Not sure which LAWLER he used but on the liner note of his first CD "MINOR MUTINY", he thanks Fred Powell and everyone at LAWLER Trumpets. I would love to know which one myself. Actually, I asked Mr. Lawler but I don't remember getting an answer.
As for the BACH, I just assumed on this. He's shown on the cover of his second release "ON THE ONE" playing an older model BACH. I assumed it's what he was using cause no one leaves home for a photo shoot and not bring there baby along for the session.... IMO this is his best recording and he displays a kick A$$ sound. "SOUND IS EVERYTHING!!" PEACE!!

It seems that Kisor switched horns quite a bit in the past. I´ve seen him on photos playing a Martin Committee with a Bach Megatone and an Olds Clark Terry trumpet.

He's also pictured in the latest Monette Newsletter with a Monette.

I saw Ryan Kisor perform live when he was 14 years old. He was a guest performer at the 1989 AFM Convention in Nashville, Tennessee and was backed up by British pianist John Patrick, Dubuque drummer Keith Marugg, and a bassist who's name I can't recall. I especially remember him playing Joy Spring and couldn't believe what I was hearing from a 14-year-old kid! Absolutely amazing. A few years ago I saw him again with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra in Cleveland. BTW, Ryan was playing a Bach in high school.

What mouthpiece does he use? In what recordings did he use non-monette equipment?

I don't know about his mouthpiece set-up but his first two CDs were pre-MONETTEs.
This seems to be a heavy issue for you.......... I believe he has a site if it's that important to you!.......
He is an awesome musician and a phanomonal jazz artist, no matter what equipment he happens to have at his disposal at the time. Sorry, but I'm starting to loose the point......

When Ryan was in DC late last year with LCJO I had a chance to talk to him between sets. At the time he was playing a gold plated Schilke and what appeared to be a STC3 Monette mouthpiece (it was huge). He sounded amazing that night and he sounded amazing when he was playing on his Monette in other shows. If you want to sound like Ryan - scoop up one of his CDs and really listen. Pick a two or three note phrase and try to mimic it exactly. He is a monster of a player and REALLY creative. His solos are a joy to listen to. It definitely ain't the equipment.

BBBBAAAMMMMMM!!!
Work for a good sound with every breath you take. Listen to his sound, recordings and transcribe your butt off. I promise, you'll sound like Mr. Kisor in NO TIME....

Hey guys... be sure to get Horace Silver's Jazz Has a Sense of Humor. Ryan plays his butt off on that one too... Jimmy Greene on tenor... great CD.
