Register is very important. Music sounds best in a certain register.

Nobody was playing the soprano saxophone and certainly nobody was trying to do anything with it. So I was all alone. I didn't know that at first.

The potential for the saxophone is unlimited.

Jazz is like wine. When it is new it's only for the experts, but when it gets older everybody wants it.
