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.

This guy just does it all.....I mean ALL except the drum kit. To me James Morrison is a once in a life time all-rounder! Talk about adjusting your chops. lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpiCEVHtHXM |
Trumpets are great when you're done with too much Sax. Flutes in jazz are really annoying. Let's not forget Buddy Tate, Wallace Davenport, Erskin Hawkins, Sam Butera, Lester Young, Cootie Williams, Harry Edison, Scott Hamilton, Haywood Henry, John Handy, Stan Turrentine, King Curtis and Percy Humphry |
