After watching this video, I started comparing Vincent Herring with Dexter Gordon, even though they play different saxes. They both have a commanding tone, swing like crazy, and play things that sound great. However, Vincent plays more outside than Dex did.
@jazzweston1 You certainly have a point in that they often hold long notes and both phrase in a very relaxed way. Vincent is "post-coltrane" so it's natural for him to play more outside than Dexter.
Herring is a natural genius. I don't get why people haven't seen it yet.

Vincent is my fav alto player for 7 years since I first heard him. He's amazing and a really cool guy.

Vincent Herring is one of the best alto sax players right now, but suprisingly he is soooooo underrated.
