Comment:

Lester Young and John Coltrane came from the South, Charlie Parker and Wardell Gray from the Midwest, Art Pepper and Paul Desmond from California, Sonny Rollins from New York. During the '50s, they were all changing the face of jazz and defining the manifold directions in which the sax could take music.
