Today’s episode features some of the greatest sax players in jazz. It’s a small sample given the time allotted, but I hope I can introduce listeners to some of the greatest! Tina Brook’s great recordings for Blue Note Records, the unforgettable sounds of Dexter Gordon, and John Coltrane’s great version of Countdown are just a few of the gems featured today.
