[Big Bend]

I even played the Alto Sax in middle school for a couple of years..

But ya I love all kinds of Jazz music, from the classics all the way thru the modern fusion stuff. Everything from Billy Holiday, Armstrong, Duke, Bebop, Dixieland, all the great jazz guitar players, those classic Hammond B3 Organ guys, those incredible clarinet players, Miles Davis, etc etc.. I mean I really love Jazz! But as soon as those Sax guys start blowing, I gota change the station.

I know Charlie Parker and John Coltrane are geniuses, but wow is that sound just so scratchy, annoying, just can't stand it. Even the modern "smooth" sax songs are hard to listen to. I just don't know what the attraction is to the whole Jazz sound.

Anyone here like listening to the Saxophone? Why? What is it about that sound that attracts you to the music? Or do others share my sentiment that its the bane of music in all its forms?
