A while ago, last summer, maybe, I was listening to a jazz program on my car FM radio being broadcast by our local NPR radio station and they were featuring a mystery guest artist on sax playing Summertime. The performance was interesting and I, of course, was making wild guesses--Lester Young, Stan Getz, Ben Webster, etc--and continued listening, as you did, top find out who the famous sax artist could be. At the conclusion of the song, the announcer almost caused me to lose control of my vehical by disclosing that the mystery guest artist was none other than Pres. Bill Clinton in a rare recording. There are a lot of not-so-famous musicians out there for us to hear and the above example should give hope to all of us. By the way, the Pres. is not that bad on sax. He once played on the Tonight Show and earned money by playing jazz while in college.
