Such an amazing sax player. I've been finding some of his original Prestige stuff on vinyl lately, and I'm so happy to have his place in jazz history documented. Thanks for paying tribute to such an amazing musician!
How did this great music happen? If man kind exists another hundred million years, What would be the likelihood of our ever, seeing the return of glorious, wonderful, beautiful music?
Illinois Jacquet is one of my all time favorite sax players. This is a wonderful cut and should be enjoyed by more folks, but he tends to get overlooked way too much for the likes of Cannonball and Coltrane.
@1dougdickens Please check out and "like" the new facebook page for Illinois Jacquet. There is a special event planned in his honor this May 2011 in Phoenix AZ.
