Jazz "horns" on BBC FOUR

[BBMmk2]

I see that one of the tracks they playedf was 'The Cuckoo'. I am sure, or is it a traditional piece that artists, such as Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull had adopted?

Yes, well... calling a saxophone a "horn" does irritate me. It's difficult enough trying to persuade people that the saxophone is not a brass instrument. But now I know I can blame our trans-Atlantic friends.

Well I call it a horn and I play one. In fact I'm back indoors from woodshedding my horn.

After all, a soprano sax does sound more like a motor horn than a woodwind instrument - even in the hands of the great Sydney Bechet.
