@saxophile1 Check them out. They are all great musicians. And listen to Rick tear stuff up on it.

@saxophile1 Hey man. You should double-check your resources before you post things on here. It's kind of like thinking before you speak. Rick Margitza is one of the top tenor players on the scene today. He is on a lot of stuff. He definitely made it. Also, I feel like it's impossible to not make it after playing with Miles.

@saxophile1. It is stunning how people can be proud of their ignorance. If you don't know Rick Margitza, that's too bad for you (what kind of "saxophile" does not know this player?). If you cannot even recognize any of the other names, that shows very little musical exposure.
For the rest of us, Margitza remains a major talent recognized by all the great contemporary players (maybe names like M Davis or M. Brecker would do it?). Check out his work with the Moutin Reunion Quartet.

@saxophile1, you aren't much of a saxophile if you're not hip to Ricky!
-
@jacobrecker LOL but I've never heard of any of those names you dropped as proof of his "making it." nice try!
-
@saxophile1 He recorded at least 3 albums for Blue Note (another 6+ on other labels) and plays with Maria Schneider, Andy LaVerne, John Fedchock, etc. regularly. I think he "made it" :D Check out Bohemia, Hands of Time, Hope or This is New. The blues "Forty Five Pound Hound" on Hands of Time is pretty impressive as is "Walls" (which sounds like Pastorius' "Liberty City") from Hope

@Thefilmrat The lion was there! I've seen him.
Just because others didn't see the lion doesn't mean it wasn't there.

I was there! The mood of this solo was unbelievable, I still remember this and I was looking for it on you tube. it's great even on video, but everyone was there was astonished... Miles HAD to stop and raise Margitza's hand or the crowd wouldn' stop clapping...
