I was listening to some old Jean-Luc Ponty of mine, and I noticed that Tom Fowler was playing with a pick. That's pretty weird IMO. I don't care that he does, because Tom Fowler is a pretty awesome player. Anyways, who are some otehr popular guys who play Jazzy stuff with a pick? Is this a common practice?

IMO i dont think it would sound to good--except if it was a heavier rock-jazz fusion type of thing, but even still, you cant get that middy goodness that get with fingers and middy goodness is essential to jazz, i think at least. |

Tom Fowler manages to pull it off, or so it seems. It has more of an edge to it, even though I can pretty much do it with my fingers.
Check out the songs "Polyfolk Dance" and "Lost Forest" to see what i'm talkin about.

Peek is on the 1st 2 SMB releases. He was a Fusion monster, not sure why things didn't take off for him.
