Yes, but it's the rougher, gruffer strain in Archia that I find intriguing. Later on he dueled to fine effect with Gene Ammons, of whom the same could be said.Gene Ammons, Tom Archia (tenor sax) Christine Chatman (piano) Leroy Jackson (bass) Wesley Landers (drums) Chicago, IL, October 12, 1948 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that comes from Lester too. All praise is due to Lester Young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Kart Posted January 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 I reckon that it also comes, in Archia's case, from Coleman Hawkins and Ben Webster. There's a "Talk of the Town" from Archia on YouTube that's steeped in Hawkins, who of course famously recorded that tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Well, there are Texas (Houston) roots to consider, too. See also: Illinois Jacquet and Arnett Cobb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
