David Amram on Bobby Jaspar (2)
What makes Bobby Jaspar so appealing to the ear is his ability to swing softly. Jaspar on sax or flute had a West Coast sound before the sound existed.

Interview: Dick Collins (Part 2)
In the 1950s, Dick Collins was one of those rare trumpeters with a gorgeous round sound and smart, simple ideas. Both qualities made him ideally suited for the big bands of Woody Herman and Les Brown--orchestras in the 1950s that focused as much on style and sensitivity as on power and swing.
