Great Players Who sparked your love of Sax music

The only gay duck in the village

That bring to mind a story about Giancarlo Schiaffini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia congratulating Evan Parker for this album. Unfortunately his descriptive terms did not please Mr. Parker. I cannot report the (sincere) compliment on this forum.

Ah, Gato!
I suspect this had a big influence on the sort of tone I like.
A bloody great album.

Yes! I only discovered Gato by pure serendipity... looking at an article on Zoot the muppet... I always assumed he was named after Zoot Sims but I had no idea about Gato or the two musicians who played his music pieces.
I immediately loved Gato's music when I heard it.

No it was Daffy Duck 😱 😉

Yes, Blue Lou's influences are clearly Daffy Duck inspired or maybe even a whole farmyard Big Band ensemble... but Zoot's were the wonderful Gato.

This forum is immature.

Blimey, it's amazing what's on Youtube.
I bought this when it came out in '72(?). It currently resides in the loft with my other lps. I don't know how much Mr Parker influenced my playing (I used to see him quite a lot with Paul Lytton - you could book them pretty cheaply - handy for a college jazz club) but my mind was certainly opened to new possibilities.

That beautiful baritone sax grunt of Andrew 'Mike' Terry on early Motown tracks, e.g. Supremes "Back in My Arms Again", "Its The Same Old Song", etc. At the end of the videos click on the (MIX 50+) and then top left corner, 'Playlist' to select other tracks.

We saw Snake Davis a few months ago at Sax and Co in the Sussex showroom he was an awesome player and so very friendly with us

Mamos hi dude. Hazel O' Conner: alto Wesley Mc Googan. He seemed to vanish; but I think I might be right in saying he did all those fabulous Billy Ocean 80s solos. Few years back he lost most of one hand in a tree felling chainsaw accident. He has an autistic son and seems very happy getting involved with charities websites and such. Sounds to me a lovely guy. ade

A song from my youth came on the radio last night and had to do a search for the sax solo which always stood out to me..... Native New Yorker by Odyssey
Solo by Micheal Brecker

The tune that followed the above on the radio was 'Young Hearts Run Free' Candi Staton but i can't find who the sax was played by, any ideas ?
