Joe Posted December 30, 2004 Report Posted December 30, 2004 Did I hear somebody say Noah Howard? Quote
AllenLowe Posted December 30, 2004 Report Posted December 30, 2004 problem is, how many saxophonists are named Noah? Quote
Joe Posted December 30, 2004 Report Posted December 30, 2004 problem is, how many saxophonists are named Noah? It would only be a problem if there were a whole bunch of vocalists named Naamah. Quote
MartyJazz Posted December 30, 2004 Report Posted December 30, 2004 Did I hear somebody say Noah Howard? No, you heard somebody say Noel Coward, but the one time he blew an alto is a story that doesn't belong in this thread Quote

Brad Posted December 30, 2004 Report Posted December 30, 2004 Anybody mention Richie Cole and since somebody mentioned John Handy, let's remember Sonny Stitt's Just In Case You Forgot How Bad He Is, featuring all three. Quote
JSngry Posted December 30, 2004 Report Posted December 30, 2004 Jimmy Vass. And Jimmy Lyons -great, celebrated (at least in some parts), but still widely overlooked in proportion to his greatness. And no, I'm not mentioning two "Jimmy"s as a continuation of the nascient Noel Coward theme... Quote

Alexander Hawkins Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 I like Willie Smith as well. Saw TK Blue with Randy Weston, and he was really interesting. Bev - agreed about Jason Yarde: I've only heard him in his short solo bursts in the recent Sam Rivers tour, but he sounded great. Quote
Fran Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 Hilton Jefferson! Absolutely - Always my favorite ever since Jonah Jones "Just Like A Butterfly" - The prettiest alto ever heard - Hilton Jefferson And another Alto grossly underrated - Johnny Bothwell - (Raeburn, Krupa, Herman). While we are at it - the worst, out of tune and sour noted was Jimmy Dorsey - who was one of the nicest musicians of the era - but nonetheless was a terrible saxophonist. Quote

Chuck Nessa Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 Doesn't ANYONE remember Johnny Bothwell, poor guy??? Just Bob Thiele, and he died. Quote
AllenLowe Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 (edited) Hey - Jimmy Dorsey was an EXCELLENT alto player, in my opinion. As a matter of fact several years ago I did sound restoration for a Jimmy Dorsey project that never came out (the 78s they sent me were in such rotten condition); it was his band from 1940-42 - and Dorsey's playing was a revelation, clearly an influence on Bird in more than just his virtuosity - a lot of very clean solos and very even 8th notes - ...Johnny who?

Cyril Posted January 5, 2005 Report Posted January 5, 2005 Whatever happened to him? One of the "Young Lions" of the late '80s, altoist Christopher Hollyday created a big stir when he appeared on the scene, but maintained a surprisingly low profile after the early '90s. During 1989-1992, Hollyday recorded four CDs for Novus, and was starting to develop his own voice when he was dropped from the label. Quote
