Insightful commentary, HF!
Thing about the sax is that it weds itself to two ethnographic classes: it is a brass instrument with a woodwind principle. What better way was there for Avant Gard practitioners of soul, jazz, and blues to find a voice not limited by woodwind or confined to brass!
Thanks for your kind and encouraging words.

Yes! What HF said, but I will add I lived in Deep South Mississippi in the early 60's, which is considered the birthplace of the Blues! I remember the Miles Davis band and those now-legendary musicians in the prime of their careers: tenor saxophonist John Coltrane, alto saxophonist Julian "Cannonball" Adderley, pianists Bill Evans and Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers, drummer Jimmy Cobb and, of course, trumpeter Miles Davis!
Excellent post!

Thank you, Ahavati!
May I say, you seem quite comfortable in any idiom -- whether spiritual, world-wisdom wise, or idiomatically musical. You've spelt out the names of many legends, among whom I regard Coltrane and Davis to top the list.
The saxophone has always been dear to my heart. You may see what I've said to HF on the subject of classification.
