Alto sax legends

Description

The alto saxophone is part of the instruments that have influenced the history of jazz music, perhaps less spectacularly than Armstrong's trumpet to Miles Davis or the tenor saxophone of Coleman Hawkins and Lester Young to Coltrane and his disciples - but in a more insidious way, in a dual role of soloist and section leader. The alto is a bit like the first violin of the grand orchestra, which defines with authority, elegance, and persuasion the phrasing of the entire group. A few of the great figures chosen to give an idea of the history of this beautiful tool were or are still formidable section leaders, from Carter and Willie Smith to Phil Woods.
