PARTY LIKE IT'S 1956


It's a Big Jay McNeely Friday Night Honkin' Sax Special. Here's a bunch of stuff from the one guy that pretty much defines "honkin'". The photo above says it all. Basically, "Blow, baby, blow!!" I think I remember someone commenting here on another McNeely post in the past saying that they didn't like honkin' sax. Fine, they can go listen to Kenny G somewhere else. The rest of you guys can let 'er rip. Drink cheap beer and shake those ruffled tail feathers.

Good stuff, Tom... always have loved that photo... sums up the ethereal joy and communion of live music... the craic! There is a lovely passage in 'On the Road' that also describes this feeling.

I agree there is saxaphone... and saxaphone. It can be used, not necessarily for evil, but dreadfully bland mind-rot. Big Jay was a force for good and always blasts out a bit of 'mongrel' into that hallowed horn.
