As for both Woods & Pete C., they each made two of the most distinctive and memorable recorded saxophone solos of the Rock Era, and no, not everybody can do that. So, respect where due, no problem.

 

This is all I really meant. In fact, I am probably a bigger fan of Pete Christlieb than Woods but not the point. Criticize the work, not the person. Doubtful that all parts of everything that a person has done over the last 30 years is "bad". And for purposes of this board I like the word  "prefer" to "criticize" because some of what you guys like is............well........................you know!!! ha ha ha ha :D  I'll just say not my preference!!! ha ha 

So no worries Hutch!! No need to hold back!! Keep the opinions coming!!

Love this place!!!

Completely ignored the Jazz Crusaders back in the day.  IIRC their records were not widely available over here but more likely I was much more interested in the exciting stuff  going on the east coast at the time.

 

 

I think you are right John. They would have come out over here on UK Liberty or Sunset I think and I don't recall ever having seen any of these from the 1960s. Buddy Rich Libertys, of course, were/are ten a penny.
