Contest background

In 1948, this saxophonist and his brother toured the USA and Europe with trumpeter Howard McGhee; the following year both went over to Dizzy Gillespie for a two-year stay, after which they toured extensively with a "Symphony Sid" all-star group (Miles Davis, J.J. Johnson, Milt Jackson, Kenny Clarke). This saxophone great has also co-led a group with Kenny Dorham; and in the Summer of 1959, when Miles was briefly without the services of Coltrane, he got the call.

This saxophone "Living Ledgend" has been a great inspiration and teacher to many players and was named into the IAJE (International Association for Jazz Educator's) Hall of Fame this year 2003.
