The concerts I
shall always treasure were the successful Saxophony
ones with saxophone player Douglas Masek. Guest artists over the years included
Janey Ball, Maria-Elizabeth Bezuidenhout and Shannon Mowday.
Keith’s ideas
for repertoire included everything from the sublime to the rowdy, and we always
looked for more of the latter. Keith was a master at arranging. He
instinctively knew the saxophone’s capabilities while providing a suitable
accompaniment. Sometimes he could be damn naughty and throw in some unsavoury
stops on the Roland which caused havoc among the players.
Keith was a
professional through and through. He was always supportive and if anyone had a
dream he would go out of his way to help make it happen.
Thank you,
Keith, for the privilege of being a part of your life.
