Più di 70 anni fa qualcuno si chiese ....... se metto su un'ancia da tenore su un sax alto, come suona ????
Quel tipo si chiamava Earl Bostic ......... diede anche qualche lezione di sassofono a Parker (quando Parker ERA già Bird) :\\: e qualcosina Bostic la insegnò anche a Coltrane ............. :\\: :\\:
Bostic usava un bocchino Beechler "Diamond Dot" con ance da tenore ed un sax alto Martin Committee

Benny Golson, who called Bostic "the best technician I ever heard in my life," mentioned that "He could start from the bottom of the horn and skip over notes, voicing it up the horn like a guitar would. He had circular breathing before I even knew what circular breathing was - we're talking about the early 50s. He had innumerable ways of playing one particular note. He could double tongue, triple tongue. It was incredible what he could do, and he helped me by showing me many technical things."
