Paul Carr does live in DC, but he's from the Ward, Houston, Texas. Paul was at Arnett's house more than Arnett was ( LOL ) Another great in Houston was Professor Conrad Johnson
I 'll bet you won't hear music like this on the Grammy awards tonight. Today's junk music is got nothing on this. Hell, most of them don't even play and instrument.
yes impala327, that's a good description of the TexasTenorSound, I played bass in A.Cobb's band... I would add Wilton Felder, (Crusaders) and Kirk Whalum (though from Memphis went to TSUniversity in Houston & was ACobb's protege) I had a Impala327 4barrel 3speed
Its not a style per-se but more of a way of describing some similarities between tenor players form Texas. The term has been in use for decades and, as far as I can tell, it alludes to a big-toned sound with a blues base. Started with Hershel Evans, Illinois Jaquet, Cobb and on through Don Wilkerson, Fathead Newman, Marshel Ivery and, one of my current modern favorites: Shelley Carrol.

Ellis is also a master; everything told with economy and authority...

Although he lives in the DC area, but Paul Carr is great modern example of the Texas Tenor

Classic Arnett- a joy to see and hear. Takes me back to Boston's Jazz workshop where I first heard him live- one of my idols- thanks Bobjazz11!
