mikeweil Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 I'm not sure whether there already is or was a thread like this, but nonetheless ..... Rules: Place a jazz-related question.

andybleaden Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Actually , thinking about it again I would go with Johnny Hodges perhaps...ooooohh now I am being indecisive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted August 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Ben Webster and Johnny Hodges were among those he confessed listening to every day, but his favourite was someone else - and a tenor man, as I said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjobbe Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 I believe the tenor he listens to most is..... Jan Garbarek cheers, Tjobbe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.L.M Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 BEN WEBSTER? What's not impossible as WEBSTER lived in Holland and tour Scandinavia often in the sixties what make the probabilities that he has been seen by GARBAREK playing on stage credible.

mikeweil Posted August 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 (edited) As posted above, he stated that he listened to Ben Webster and Johnny Hodges every day, but that his favourite was someone else .....
