It never gets old, does it?

I have only got a small lawn but have a few old lawn mowers in the shed. Alto, soprano, tenor and baritone. If I get them all tuned and orchestrated maybe Debussy would have approved and snapped his fingers on two and four!
i love the tenor sax, coltrane,dexter, and hawk.i am also very partial to the baritone sax,mulligan,pepper adams and brignola. gord
The baritione sax is my "main man" of the family - if they weren't so farqing expensive I'd buy one to play as a hobby!
some sax players have beautiful sounds. lester young, stan getz and johnny hodges have light tones and they are just great, but i prefer to listen to the harder sound of jazzmen like dexter gordon,john coltrane and pepper adams. gord
I have discovered Sony Rollins since I have been on this forum. Do like his style.

When talking of Baritone Sax dont forget Jimmy Giuffre (not to mention his brilliance on Tenor and Clarinet)
so many great saxophone players covering all styles.bud freeman, hawk, prez, bird,dexter, rollins, coltrane and the rest, i like them all. i am one of those rare cats who likes every kind of jazz from bunk johnson to cecil taylor.there is not too much i do not like. gord
Sorry,
When talking of Jimmy Giuffre I should have included Baritone as well as Tenor and Clarinet.
Here he is playing all three.

Mat,
I've just come across your post of Aug 28th ref Jimmy Giuffre, asking if he plays soprano.
My apologies for nor answering but I was ill at the time, and faltered quite a lot in my contacts with the Forum.
The answer is "not to my knowledge" and I have not seen soprano as a key instrument in West coast jazz.
However I'm sure someone will probably show my ignorance in this respect.
Cheers John
I've got to add Jim Tomlinson (ten) - see "a lovely bit of jazz" thread)
