I don’t think you need to read an article to know how great he played.
The only thing worse than reading about jazz is hearing someone talk about it.

Then why are you here?

Sugar was the first song I learned. He was my first stop after listening to rock thru high school. That tone and feel is really great to hear and difficult to emulate. Absolutely a prime influence.

So many great recordings.

His playing on the Blue Note label is incredible, both under his own name and as a side man. As far as Up At Minions, this track floored me the first time I heard it. It's an encyclopedia of jazz saxophone vocabulary, and an amazing marathon of a solo.

Hey Frank, I couldn't get that link to work. Which tune was it?

p.s. By the way, I listened to some of the clips on your YouTube channel. You sound great! Excellent playing. I cover some of the same tunes (Work Song, Comin Home Baby, Night Train, etc.) but probably don't play them as well as you do!

@JL thanks for the kind words. I just switched to a Mac and am still having trouble getting some functions to work, copy/paste being one of them. The tune I was trying to share was But Not For Me. Stanley tears up the changes for nearly 5 minutes giving a masterclass on how it's done. If you get a chance maybe you could post it here for everyone else to check out.

Sure thing Frank. I found it on YouTube:
