No else sounded like sax player Paul Desmond. His stint with Dave Brubeck’s group was legendary! Smooth, silky and one of a kind, Paul’s music will be around for many years. Willis Jackson is a relative unknown to me. He has a totally different approach to the sax. He’s a more of an in your face kind of player who loves to have fun. This is evident when you listen to the featvured tracks on this episode. Alex Dean is a Canadian music treasure who has been playing for many years. I thought I would start the show with four tracks from his excellent recording “At This Point”. Enjoy!!
