Hello all!
Inevitably in show work, you will come across a phrase/solo/etc. with the words "ala [some sax player you've never heard of]". These times can be daunting if you don't have the time/resources available to really research who it is you should be emulating, and a MD who is seeking a particular sound. With that in mind, I'm hoping that we can keep a dialogue going of this people who we come across. For example, I once saw "ala Marshall Royal". Marshall Royal was the lead alto for Count Basie from 1951-1970. Based on the phrase, which was kind of bluesy, I took it to mean play with a fast, wide vibrato, which was a signature of Royal's sound. Have a listen to the track "Lonely Street" from Basie Straight Ahead to hear what I mean.
