in some ways, maybe yes, in others, no.
Roi is actually quite progressive in what he does. Sax in a rock band. crazy right? Well, he pulls it off because it is not sax solo after sax solo. What he does is often quite rhythmic and textural. A good example is the studio version of Dreaming Tree.
With Rashawn, i see roi getting away from that innovative style of playing and moving more towards a very standard pop/jazz unison and linear style with the trumpet.
I don't like the thought of that at all. Sorry, just wanted to clarify my above post.
