JERRY DODGION: This master of the saxophone is well-qualified to speak about the sax section: he's played with just about every great swingin' section ever heard! Gerald Wilson, Benny Carter, Benny Goodman, Red Norvo, Quincy Jones, Oliver Nelson, Tadd Dameron, Duke Pearson, Herbie Hancock, Toshiko Akiyoski, Thad Jones-Mel Lewis, Chico O'Farrill and many, many more. He is currently leading his own newly formed group called The Joy of Sax (five saxophones and rhythm section). You can experience this joy!
