Default Re: I love Jazz music - the Saxophone blows tho

well, my instrument is the tenor sax, so I'm obviously biased, but to me there is nothing better then hearing sonny rollins in flight from the late 50s. There are just things that can't be done on any other instrument with the sax, lines that are just so amazing. What I love so much about the tenor sax too is that it's generally the closest an instrument can come to the male voice

I personally don't understand the disdain you have, but to each their own. I know that I couldn't listen to jazz and completely cut off listening to sax players. To me there is just so much beauty in the sound of a saxophone that it's hard for me to ever not want to listen to someone like stan getz, hank mobley, don byas, tim warfield, mark turner, and so on
