Not to mention personality and individuality. A is a tenor , but you can still tell Lester Young from Coleman Hawkins from Sonny Rollins from John Coltrane based on a few milliseconds of their raw sound. Every player has their own voice.

Jazztodon artist of the week: Ben Webster! According to our friends at @aaj, in 1940, became the first major soloist for . He was on many famous recordings, including "Cotton Tail" and "All Too Soon." After leaving Ellington in 1943, Webster recorded frequently as both a leader and a sideman and toured with Jazz at the Philharmonic. Webster was one of the great ballad players in the history of jazz, and Norman Granz recorded him on many memorable sessions.

Current music project: Bob Berg's "Games" from his "In the Shadows" album. (why can't I use italics or underline?) There's also a crazy live version that's a little too fast, but pretty fun. Made a play along in Ableton live and realized how many keys it goes through. For those of you working on the same song, when they come back to the head at the end, it's up a whole step in E concert. Enjoy and tell me what you're working on!

As a rule, I loathe and despise Christmas music. As a Jewish person living in the Midwest, it's an assault on the ears starting in the fall and building until the Big Day. However, I just played a gig with the big band that was all pretty swinging and groovy arrangements of Christmas songs that generally were challenging and pretty fun to play. So Happy Holidays to all!
