Re: I love Jazz music - the Saxophone blows tho
[ QUOTE ]
Within the set of saxes, though, my preferences are probably a little weird. My favorite saxes are the baritone and, oddly enough, the soprano.
I do love me a good bari sax, though. Hearing someone honk on one of those solo or or hearing that rich, low vibration in a chord between the bass and everyone else always brings a smile to my face.

I agree, Love the Bari and soprano Sax! When I was younger I used to go See Maynard Ferguson whenever he was around. His backing big bands were really really good. I remember him having a guy, named Bobby Militello who honked on the bari like no ones business. He also played a mean jazz flute. He also did some work with Dave Brubeck that I haven't heard but I bet it would be good as well. This guy was one of the best sax players I remember hearing from so many years ago. His bari and flute solos kicked major butt!
FWIW - How someone can not like the Sax at all is beyond me. Granted Bad Sax is horrible but god Sax is really good.
