It's a little easier to find info and compilation of the R&B and Rock n' Roll saxophone greats like Hal Singer, Big Jay McNeely, Herb Hardesty (Fats Waller's main cat), Lee Allen (Little Richard and other NOLA guys), Jimmy Wright (Frankie Lymon and Rama Records), Lionel Prevost (Excello saxman), Sam "The Man" Taylor (Screamin' Jay and Atlantic), etc. --
My questions are: who are your favorite garage / punk saxophone players?
I always wonder if I'm missing out some punk or frat rock or garage saxophonists, who do you like? Or any particular singles that you dig the saxophonic frenzy on? I know Surf bands often had sax instrumentals, but none stick out for me deeply.
For example, I love Rob Lind from The Sonics and Johnny Paris of Johnny & the Hurricanes.
For contemporary cats, I've been hearing this guy Dick Boogie from Japan, he's a bad ass tenor sax honker!
I wonder if you all can turn me on to some more screamers and honkers!
