 serious omissions. Aug 29, 2002
Tony Coe,s picture is on the cover yet there is nothing inside about this ex Clarke-Boland sideman who was the first non American to win the Jazzpar("Jazz Nobel") prize and
played the tenor sax solo on most of the Pink Panther films
plus plus.Also missing is British Nigel Hitchcock who can
blow anyone away.
Although an acceptable coffee table book,
it is defective for the above omissions plus.
Perhaps it,s all down to the well known British cronyism!

 masters of jazz saxophones minus one Dec 19, 2001
good photos, good write-ups and pretty extensive, but while including many young, up-and-coming players, it neglects to mention one, who is hardly "up-and-coming" any more and most certainly among the most important modern players, namely, Kenny Garrett. Having been playing since he was a teen with the Duke Elington Orchestra, he moved on to the likes of Art Blakey, Woody Shaw, Freddie Hubbard and Miles Davis before going out on his own. His albums have gained world wide acclaim (Pursuance, i believe, got best album one year in Down Beat). Most important is the fact that practically every alto player these days is trying to sound like him. For that kind of impact he should at least be mentioned.
