When I Began Listening To Saxophones, I

In A Way, I Started Out To Be A Baritone Player.

The Baritone Can Serve Functions That The Alto And Tenor Cannot, In Orchestral Voicing

Eliminating The Piano Means That I've Always Worked Closer With The Bass Than Most Players.

Then, Of Course, I Played Alto And Tenor, Wherever There Were Jobs.

Actually, When I Was Very Young, First Starting To Play, I Think I Probably Listened More To Clarinet Players Than To Saxophones.
