Jacobs sounded like Jacobs, and Gene sounds like Gene. Jacobs was more florid in his musical interpretation, which was a characteristic of his time. Gene is more restrained and precise, at least to my ears. Both are examples of the highest degree of musicianship.eupher61 wrote:How does Gene sound on THE Yorks vs how Mr Jacob sounded?
Listen to his CD's--all the tracks sound like Gene but it's not always obvious which instrument he is using. You almost have to be there in person to feel the difference in the instruments.
