medjuck Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Today's LA Times Sunday Crossword has the following clue: "Saxophonist-composer Jimmy, known for his big-band arrangements for Benny Goodman and Count Basie"! The answer maybe obvious to jazz fans but pretty esoteric for most puzzlers I would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
