Well, not every track is saxed, but we've got some heavyweights here: Johnny Griffin, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Sonny Rollins, Branford Marsalis, Charlie Parker, Benny Carter, and Sidney Bechet. Breathers from pianists Brad Mehldau, Kris Davis and Bill Evans; as well as the Uptown Jazz Orchestra from New Orleans; trumpeters Roy Eldridge, Fats Navarro, Miles Davis; and Jared Gold on the B-3 and the late Vic Juris. Enjoy the show!

R.I.P. bassist Henry Grimes (November 3, 1935—April 15, 2020) R.I.P. saxophonist Giuseppi Logan (May 22, 1935—April 17, 2020) both 'corona-ed'
