| Jazz for aficionados **** Once again, here we go with the straw man stuff. No one said the posters on this thread are special. No one said Bluesy41 was not welcome. You just make this stuff up, so you can tear it down. ****Nope; not at all. And I don’t agree with you ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Herb Geller:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xSSpQqEcM3kFrank Wess:Long time member of Basie’s band. One of the great tenor stylists; bridging the gap between the swing and the hard bop tenor players. Great tenor sound! Also one of the pioneers of ja... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Brilliant, acman3! That’s it! Impressive.Rok, ok, Geller....maybe; although he has been discussed here and is pretty well known. I’ll give you that one. But, Frank Wess, Jimmy Heath??? Who the hell are they?!?!?! I hope I’m misinterpreting your co... | |
