Of course - a sax is a sax, you can use any make of one for jazz or any music. There may be subtle differences but it's how you play it.

When I went to Liverpool to Play the Cavern I ended up going to this Monday night Jazz jam at a place called the Metro.

The host band had quite a nice rhythm section and a very tasteful alto sax/ flute player who played an old pristine True Tone Alto.

Great sound. Great Night. Great City.

In spite of possible marketing hype, there is no such thing as a 'jazz horn' or a 'classical' or 'rock horn.' There are jazz or classical players, but a sax is a sax.

JL, I heartfully agree with your statement. However, I must say that I don't especially favor TT tenors for my jazz playing. I feel like Aristocrat ergos and tone suits my concept more accomplishedly than TT tenors (especially tenors).

Beautiful solo

Yeah, I hear you on that. I haven't played a TT tenor, but I have a couple of Aristocrat tenors ('series 1' and the later 156) and they are great horns for anything. OTOH hand I prefer my TT alto to an aristocrat alto I owned for a while, but only by a slight margin. I liked the tone better on the TT alto.

Thank you! I only put it out there cause when I went to sell mine I was met with enough skepticism due to hype or lack thereof.... It was a great horn for anything you put your heart, mind and talent to! It was a fantastic horn with snappy keys, a big powerful, open tone and now has a happy, loving home!

Now, more importantly, does anyone know this tenor player? I see his name but wonder if he has any records I may find. I really dig what he's saying and how he's saying it.

Google him or the name of the group or email the person who uploaded the video clip on Ebay to ask them.

Great...now the secret is out. The "Big 4" stock holders are gonna be ticked! :lol:

And those Big Four don't necessarily deserve to be there, especially in this day and age. The myths of days gone by still persist today, despite the wealth of knowledge available to us in the modern era.
