Because no matter how Godawful Kenny G's stuff is (and talk about an example of impressive technique married to zero soul), I'll always associate soprano sax with Coltrane's 'My Favorite Things.' Meaning, I guess, that if something is really awesome, it makes me forget the bad things.<br /><br />Seriously, the live version of 'My Favorite Things' (from the 'Afro Blue Impressions' album) is pretty much the most awesomest performance by any group of musicians ever on anything.<br /><br />D.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16048623397246541601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457411005352662997.post-36277287780081974232009-11-23T14:26:12.277-05:002009-11-23T14:26:12.277-05:00I like alto stuff and tenor stuff... soprano, all ...I like alto stuff and tenor stuff... soprano, all i can hear is kenny g..dodohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00440530941782951896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457411005352662997.post-66466756420346822682009-11-23T13:42:16.140-05:002009-11-23T13:42:16.140-05:00I figured that point needed clarification: it'...I figured that point needed clarification: it's more that I'm 'bored' with tenor, since it's been essentially the premiere lead instrument in jazz since the 1930's. I still love the old recordings, but with newer works I like to hear some other sounds explored.<br /><br />I guess I have to say that as a ground rule, I like the smoother, clearer sound of the soprano over the rougher sound of the tenor, since I actually prefer Coltrane's soprano stuff to his tenor.<br /><br />D.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16048623397246541601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457411005352662997.post-7915528376791241452009-11-23T13:16:55.001-05:002009-11-23T13:16:55.001-05:00you love the soprano sax?
