    I think he uses the large triangle D'Andrea Pro-Plecs for picks, as for anything else - not a clue.

    Last I heard he was using DR Legend flatwound strings..... 13-54
    and Golden Gate picks .... they are a rounded corner triangle shape C. 1.5mm ...see them on Amazon.

    Bobby is fantastic player. What he plays usually cuts right to the heart of what I love to hear.

    I've had Bobby's "Monk" album for a long time. I just picked up "My Shining Hour" and it it's a real treat. Very interesting take on the tunes. Not just another straight-ahead album. Highly recommended. Great recording quality too.

    What guitar is he playing in the WDCB video? I've seen a couple like that and haven't been able to find the brand name. Andy Brown has one that he plays with Don Stiernberg.

    Koentopp. Pure functional art, right there.

    Bobby's definitely a favorite of mine...his playing is such a nice bridge between modern and classic styles...

    If you like his stuff you have to check the Deep Blue Organ Trio as well, they 've been playing forever

    Thanks, Jeff. Once I knew where to look I found it. He has some pictures of Andy Brown playing his Koentopp. I hadn't heard of Koentopp before, interesting guitars.

    Bobby has two or three Jazzicas as well as the Koentopp, and plays all of them.
    He's a great player and a really gentleman.
