The moan within the tone: African retentions in rhythm and blues saxophone style in Afro-American popular music
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 November 2008
Abstract
The tenor is a rhythm instrument and the best statements negroes have made of what their soul is have been on tenor saxophone. Now you think about it and you'll see I'm right. The tenor's got that thing, that honk, you can get to people with it. Sometimes you can be playing that tenor and I'm telling you the people want to jump across the rail. (Ornette Coleman)
