Kenneth "Kenny" Douse was featured saxophone soloist with the Marine Band until his retirement in the 1950's. Upon his retirement he joined the National Symphony Orchestra as a member of the violin section; he also doubled on saxophone where the repertoire required it. It was my good fortune (as bass clarinetist) to sit right next to him; I was blown away by his virtuosity on both instruments. He used to boast that the reed he was playing in alto sax was the same he used when he retired from the Marine Band years earlier. His fast tounguing ability was astonishing -- truly the equal of a Robert Spring or Charles Neidich (or Ted Hegvik on sax).

Here is a link to an example of his playing:http://www.marineband.usmc.mil/audio_resources/discography/bi_disc3.htm
