ben webster !!! ben webster !! One of the three fathers of sax tenor , together with pres and hawk ... no one can play glissato and vibrato like him... young tenor players try to imitate trane but they forget the giants before trane....
Youngs focus more on the notes than on the sound. There were less notes to play back in the old days, that's why. Can we do both ? Well I guess the contemporary angular phrases don't exactly fit with the "seductive" sound.
No, Selmer Balanced Action. piece is a four star model link. He also played a tone master, but never traded his "ole betsy" once he got her (referring to his horn)
