Wacky. Who would want to remake fiddler on the roof? Tevya would certainly disapprove. But i'd like to hear it anyway... ps: run your posts through a spell-checker before posting.

I can understand that, Theory. He's worth checking out, however, and I'll second Go See The World. I picked that one up for $1.50 on Half.com a couple years ago. One of the best buys I've ever found.

Solo horns just aren't my cup of tea. If there were several more, just to fill the sound out, I would have liked it better.

yep, there's his latest release Threads, which is great but not a straight jazz thing...but a good place to start is Go See The World, worth it for the total blowout of "The Way We Were".

David S. Ware is a monster sax player. I'd be curious to hear this track because I can't imagine three minutes of Ware being too long - too short, most likely. He is probably not for everyone, however. But he's definitely one of the brighter spots in jazz today, no mistake about that.

Theory, there are some great out-there players on that disc. worth checking out if you're into expanding your horizons. especially: Uri Caine Elliot Sharp (also had a group called "Carbon") David S. Ware (yep, he can play) surprised this is your first exposure to Jill Sobule. never heard "I Kissed A Girl"?
