George Coleman and Eric Alexander are my absolute favorite tenor players outside of my man Grover. These guys are masters of their horns and jazz music. I mean I grew up listening to The Jazz messengers, Gene Ammons, Sonny Stitt, Stanley Turrentine, Grover Washington Jr, Houston Person, Eric Alexander, George Coleman, Jimmy Smith, The jazz crusaders (formerly the young rabbits) Wayne Shorter, Clifford Brown, Charles Earland, Johnny Hammond and the list goes on for me. I have such an extensive jazz collection that I could run my own Jazz station. I played the tenor and my knowledge of the music is extremely impressive. I remember when I was a kid and I first got into jazz, I loved them big bands and orchestras! Maynard Ferguson and Stan Kenton was it for me back then. Joey DeFranseco came out some years later and just took the world by storm with his speed, technique and fiery tunes. I was a huge fan of the Hammond B-3 and Earland was my absolute favorite. It’s funny because I got into George Coleman when he did a record with Charles called Smokin that was nothing but fire! I got hip to Eric from his years with Earland as well. That was one thing I could say about the Burner man, he kept those hard driving tunes burning and could play the B-3 for real. These guys know what to play and when to play it, especially with them solos man. Well keep up the good work and keep bringing us all this good music and history.
