 * (JP: 'When I was a young lad, the only magazines I ever got to read that were about music were Jazz Monthly and Jazz Journal. I wasn't that interested in jazz, but I had to read something and as I say, those were the only things that were available. There was no prospect at all of hearing any of the records. You'd occasionally see them in the shops and so forth, but obviously I couldn't afford to buy them and they weren't played on the radio. So it was just a strange weird kind of world. I used to read the reviews most avidly, and all of the reviewers seemed to be united in their hostility to what they referred to as "honking saxophones", and they would occasionally write a bit in a dismissive way as "Texas sax playing" or "Texas tenor playing" n particular, and I used to think, "I wanna hear some of this vulgar, broad Texas tenor playing and I want to hear it now. At the time of course it was quite impossible, but since then I've been able to catch up with some, and this week when I was working my way through what has been a considerable backlog of unheard records, I came across a CD which had been there for some months called 'Saxophony: Jubilee Honkers and Shouters'. Most of it's fairly polite stuff...but then there are five tracks on there by someone called Jimmy Wright. He was rather put down by his contemporaries at the time: he was known as 'Jimmy One-Note.' But for those of you who are old enough to remember Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers and 'Why Do Fools Fall In Love,' he played the tenor solo on that. Jimmy Wright's tracks, I have to say, are absolute stormers. Theye're vulgar, they're broad, they're just exactly what you want.')
