Hey! I’ve designated April as ‘Sax Appeal’ month here on Rhythms In Black Satin.

What that means is that for the next 5 Thursdays the mixes here will be featuring many of our great saxophone players from the past on up to the present day. You’ll be hearing familiar folks like Grover Washington, Jr., David Sanborn, Stanley Turrentine and Jr. Walker as well as some of the masters who pioneered the use of the instrument in Jazz, Swing, R&B and Rock ‘n Roll like Charlie “Bird” Parker, John Coltrane, Sonny Stitt, Illinois Jacquet and many more. The first playlist will feature a collection of uptempo (and a few mellow) grooves from a variety of players and as we move on into the month I’ll select a few trios and focus on them in the traditional Triple Play Thurs-Day format.

So… make sure you check in all month long cause, it’s ‘Sax Appeal’ Month on RIBS! I mean, everybody could use some “great sax” once in a while, right? {smile}
