He is/was the saxophonist for Bob seager and the Silver bullet baby!!!...Detroit!!!!!! http://www.altoreed.com/index.html EDIT I met him awhile ago when I sold him some Hi Def equipment when it first came out about 10 years ago.(damn...has it been that long already?) Great guy...good advice on life that has stuck with me...he gave me an autograpgh copy of his album "Cool Breeze" I liked it, but his Seager stuff rocked!!!!Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

A friends sister used to house sit for his family when they were out of town and got to be pretty good friends with him and we went tto visit her one Christmas season back in the 80's...we got to wander around his neighboorhood singing Christmas Carols for neighbors with accompanyment by Ernie and some of his friends...Christmas carols never sounded so good.

marcandalysse 0 #10 September 9, 2007 man you are missing some greats! I love Jazz Sax! Glad you have Coleman Hawkins on your list... A few of mine are (in no special order) below. I encourage you to check them out if you haven't yet: John Coltrane Charlie Parker Lester Young Cannonball Adderley Ornette Colemen Joe Farrell Stan Getz Roland Kirk Pharoah Sanders (caught him a couple years ago, still fun to hear him!) Wayne Shorter (check out 'Native Dancer' with Brazilian Milton Nascimento) Stanley Turrentine (I finally got his autograph at his last show...he died next day!) Grover Washington (before that style became 'smooth jazz' he was a fav) check out this list and pick your favorites! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_jazz_saxophonists "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #12 September 10, 2007 There was sax before John Coltrane and there was sax AFTER John Coltrane. When you've got guitar-slinging cats like George Benson, John McLaughlin, Jimi Hendrix and Joe Satriani who have directly credited or directly credited Coltrane with influencing them, that says something. While I'm not the greatest jazz guy, there are some other notable sax guys. John Helliwell did some good stuff (part of Supertramp and sat in on a lto of sessions). My wife is hotter than your wife.
