Who's your favorite Alto Sax Player?

[Ibuchreitz]

maybe we should change it to transvestite hermaphrodite alto clarinet player -

That's a brilliant idea. It would really narrow the field down!

Just illustrates that some of the most popular topics are started while under the influence.

This is not the first time I've done this, I just thought (&^*¤%"@!!) I'd finally learned not to do it. I was amazed to see four pages of people posting to that topic I completely forgot about writing, when I finally found it...

This is embarrassing. If any of you ever visits Denmark, I'll buy you a beer. Who knows, if your play your cards right we might end up back at my place and post drunken ramblings online and COMPLETELY forget about it afterwards.

Can you hummus a few bars?

Curiously short list to vote upon. My choice would be Art Pepper.

[John Tapscott]

Since we've already the alto thing, why not start a new one with tenor or baritone? But for either, you'll need a longer list.

Or we could just structure the tenor poll...

Coleman Hawkins

Lester Young

One of the guys who imitated Lester Young

John Coltrane

One of the guys who imitated John Coltrane

That about covers it, eh?

Are we going to do this seriously? If so, you have to like the giants:

Hawkins

Webster

Lester

Getz

Rollins

Coltrane

Speaking personally, I'm particularly partial to some of the sons of Lester:

Wardell

Allen Eager

Al Cohn

and to Bird on tenor and some of his sons:

Stitt

early Rollins

early Frank Foster

Tubby Hayes

Now, over to you ...

[P.L.M]

So, where do you put Albert Ayler and those who imitate Albert Ayler, Evan Parker and those who imitate..., Roscoe Mitchell and those who... Warne Marsh and those..., Fred Anderson and... plus an handfull of tenor player, not obligatory born in USA?

[J.A.W.]

Erh...hmm,... There are two possibilities here. I either posted this thread once when I was very drunk and first thought the idea for this poll and later forgot about it! (I usually try not to post on forums while drunk for!!) - OR - somebody posted a poll in the past and I was simply too lazy to search for it enough to find it. This is fun!

What is it?

Hehe, I found my own topic which is on the exact same issue from a few weeks back. That's just swell, seems I've been PUI (posting under the influence) again! God damn it! Do these boards award stupidity, if so what did I win...

I've merged both threads.

[AllenLowe]

thanks for mentioning me, Cliff. Just don't tell Reynolds...

also, just having played a gig with Darius Jones, I may have to relinquish the nomination.

[mrjazzman]

There are so many. So, I'll limit it to Parker, Stitt, Adderley, McLean, Lou Donaldson, Benny Carter, Leo Wright, Sonny Criss, Phil Woods, Art Pepper, Paul Desmond, Ernie Henry, Vincent Herring, Jesse Davis, Frank Morgan, Pony Poindexter, Sonny Red, Frank Strozier, Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson, there's more but I'll cut it off here.......

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Hank Crawford

Harold "Geezil" Minerve

Nathaniel Leon Jones

[Steve Reynolds]

allen - btw - I saw darius Jones last year with a poorish band but he was terrific

maybe no Thomas Chapin but wonderful nonetheless

I don't seem to have got much of a reaction to this. Perhaps I should submit it to the poetry thread.

[AllenLowe]

hi Steve - yes, he's amazing; hopefully I'll be mixing our recording of the 9/25 gig some time in the next week -
