charles1dad made a comment : " 5 truly superb musicians who’ve mastered their respective instrument ". I very well understand, that someone can enjoy the " sound of a particular instrument ", but instruments, require someone to play them." Any instrument, can be simply glorious, when played by a master. I enjoy, pretty much every musician mentioned above. I purchase / listen to them all, for the beauty of their " musicianship ". If I want to listen to instruments ( and I am talking live, non recorded ), I can do that, by visiting the local high school band ( and, I do not mean that in a derogatory way ). Enjoy ! MrD.
Saxaphone vs. Trumpet...Which do you prefer?
It’s not the first time I’ve thought about it, but it came up again last night as I was listening to Quintessence volume 2, Stan Getz and Chet Baker recorded live. (an amazing disc) I have to say that for myself, I prefer the saxophone because it seems capable of infinite textures and subtle shadings as well as eye opening dynamic shifts. Of course I love the trumpet too; especially in the hands of a player like Chet Baker.
