Who is your favorite jazz tenor player? If I had to choose a favorite then I'd probably say Richard Elliot or Lester Young.

| One of them is Don Menza. Played in Buddy Rich's band for a few years among others. If you get a chance listen to him on on old 60's album "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" especially on the song 'Channel 1 Suite.' |

Thanks for the invite but I don't think I'm in the age range of your members. After reading other posts tonight, I see that most are high school age. I think I'm in the wrong forum! I should have been directed to the old fogey forum.  But I have enjoyed your interesting observations and perspectives. Wish I was that knowledgeable at your age! Keep up the good work! I may still lurk as a guest if you don't mind. |

IMO.. Brecker, Brecker, Brecker... all day long.
Then comes Coltrane, and Stanley Turrentine.. have yet to listen to Rollins (shaaame).
