Wow, always been impressed with the Sax. I tried to pick it up in elementary school, but never stuck with it. Still love watching others perform though. Nice site!

Awesome clip, Neal! I got to see Dizzy live a little over 20 years ago, I think it’s been – loved it.

I LOVE that piano montuno during the sax solo and although I did play alto through high school and a bit in college, suffice it to say I never sounded like that ;-)

Nice site, by the way!
