Keith Rowley - Saxophone, Harmonica, Loud Jacket
We here at OBM Archive Section are mystified. Such a prodigiously gifted man should surely have more personal details on record. Sadly, all that exists are the bare bones of what makes Keith tick. And yet, there lies a valid comparison; Keith Rowley/wristwatch. It all falls into place - he is rarely on time, his hands are all over the place and his face is always scratched. Let us examine the man behind the mouthpiece, the bard who puts the class into brass.
We have to assume certain things - normal gestation period, reasonably happy childhood and an
adolescence containing no more than usual trauma. Having said that, there are onstage moments when Keith exhibits distressing tendencies; serial killer stare, a fondness for jackets that do not make sense, and an unhealthy willingness to stand near Bren. These are not behavioural normalities, dear reader, and surely do not bode well for the future. On the plus side, Keith does not consort with farmyard animals (ruins the blowing technique, apparently), and has never been a member of Pan's People.So what do we know of this man? Musically, there are clues - he has, after all, been gigging in various bands for over 20 years, and has supported such luminaries as The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Chris Farlowe and Peter Green. A glittering CV indeed; it is now high time to stop claiming he is in his early thirties.
In addition to his formidable prowess with saxophone and harmonica, Keith is an accomplished guitarist. This does not sit well with the other three charlatans in the band who have already staked their claim in six-string heaven. Wisely, Keith has chosen to stick with what goes best in the OBM way of doing things - giving it a kick in the arse.Keith once claimed that he is neither fast enough nor clever enough to play jazz, and that he prefers to go for the notes that really matter. Perfect. Old Blue Moses are not fast or clever, they think that Jazz used to be in a band with someone called Dave, and the notes that really matter carry the signature of the Chief Cashier of the Bank Of England. He will fit in very well.
