Actually, I didn't know that Keith played recorder! I never thought it
much to be a Jazz instrument in the traditional sense because of it's
leanings toward diatonicism (as far as fingerings go) and due to its small
dynamic range (loud=sharp, quiet=flat). Then again Keith is not exactly a
traditional artist, and if he's recorded it on ECM, then it would entirely
be appropriate.
