FrankM: The "Mister" in Mister Acker Bilk was assigned by his manager, who insisted that Bilk be billed that way.

And Allen Cole said: "Maybe he's a Sidney Bechet disciple." Good words. I've often thought Sidney became a soprano sax player largely so he could cut through everything else, especially on the old acoustic recordings.

who wouldn't want to play like Bilk but would not object to the money
