Then, of course, I played alto and tenor, wherever there were jobs.

The baritone can serve functions that the alto and tenor cannot, in orchestral voicing.

Only the French, I guess, really use tenor and alto to any great extent in the orchestra.

So I played alto for quite a while until I saved up the money for the baritone.

I've always played characters that were younger than myself.

When I began listening to saxophones, I was first attracted to Coleman Hawkins.
