It was a free concert of squawks and squeaks and structure-free noodling. I haven't listened to anything by Sheep since. To be fair, I should give a listen to how he sounds now.

I like his last record, "Bah-Bah Blues"

Many.. but Paul Desmond and John Coltrane were unique and seem to tap into the Force in a way few could.

Stan Getz and his contribution to Johnny Smith's "Moonlight in Vermont".

Getz, Desmond and an LA tenor player named Robert Kyle. Also, Stanley Turrentine.

Lester Young.

I'm been enjoying playing the cd with Oscar Peterson trio today.

Barney Kessel on guitar.

Rather than particular players I prefer particular tracks, it doesn't matter who plays them. It all depends on the track.

**jumpnblues** · 11-28-2023, 10:43 PM

John Coltrane

Cannonball Adderley

I never met a sax player I didn't like. Guitarists, on the other hand...

**GuyBoden** · 12-28-2023, 07:51 AM

I've been revisiting Ben Webster today.

His big breathy tone is fantastic.

**sgosnell** · 12-29-2023, 12:34 PM

For current players, I like Harry Allen. For those now gone, Lester Young.

Thought there'd be more Brecker fans among guitar players - or is it just the Rock guys that would give 3 of their testicles to sound like this:

Previous post has me listening to Hank Mobley.

Put it this way, if you're like me, if all the greats were at the same party, you'd make your way to Dexter's corner to hear his stories ahead of anyone else's...
