Al Cohn...Jazz Ace on Tenor

Tenor Sax people are unique. For one thing, it is hard to get a good, big sound... what one might call a fantastic tone out of a tenor saxophone. But listening today to a favorite of mine on tenor sax helped me a lot. The guy I am speaking of is a feisty tenor man named Al Cohn. He along with the clever Zoot Sims were two superb tenor men. I enjoy so much the engaging sounds of attractive tenor playing. Today, the jazz music of Al Cohn on tenor made my life just right.

Nice Writing

THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy.  He does not use too many adjectives.  His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.
