mrjazzman Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 How do you discover new, young jazz saxophone players. Here are some names I've discovered lately Wayne Escoffery Tim Warfield Dayna Stephens Victor Goines Mark Turner Mark Shim Seamus Blake Chris Cheek - just today Walter Smith III Stephens seems to be the center of attention at the moment. Any other suggestions.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other suggestions.............. All of the ones you name, except for Dayna Stephens and Walter Smith, are not new or young. Goines and Turner, in particular, have been around for at least 20 years. Shim, Cheek and Blake are not far behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrjazzman Posted May 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Grant Stewart Again, not young or new. I'm with you JETman, keep me young and new............someone suggested Melissa Aldana, checked her out, I'm going to follow her. Im having difficulty hearing Stephens and Smith III, but I'm passed 60, that's probably the problem....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardbopjazz Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 How about Tivon Pennicott? I caught playing in Kenny Burrell's band a few years ago. He impressed me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Shearn Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Chris Potter, if you are not familiar, mrjazzman. Chris has some excellent albums out there like 1997's "Unspoken" with John Scofield, Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette, "Lift" from 2004, "Follow the Red Line" from 2007. The latter, you may not like if you don't enjoy more modern touches from music in the past few years. Chris is excellent on "The Monterey Quartet" album, and he is now in Pat Metheny's "Unity Band", that album will release June 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to mention Potter, but I was trying to keep to saxophonists younger than 40. I thoroughly enjoy Potter, especially with his Underground group. I'm looking forward to hearing the Unity Band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking forward to hearing the Unity Band. Wait till you hear "Signals (Orchestrion Sketch)" It's GREAT. JazzFM in the UK played that track from Unity Band along with "Come and See". I've heard three tracks, running to the store on release day to get it. "Unity Band", b/c it is a Pat Metheny project and features the Orchestrion as an added texture, although there are Pat fans here, it may not be to everyone's taste.
