Jay Rattman: In the Towns
by Richard J Salvucci
Jay Rattman may not exactly be a household name to some jazz listeners and saxophone hounds. Perhaps he should be. Busy, literate, and creative, Rattman is that rare player who makes one think.

No other format allows the horn player more freedom than playing solo. Here are ...
