Derrick L. Williams replied to Nigel G's discussion Sax Players / Styles in the group All Things Saxophone

"Whalum is my favorite! Cannonball is second by a nose. Sonny Stitt and Kenny Garrett tied for third. I like a lot of styles -- bop, contemporary, soul, straight ahead... As long as I can feel the soul!"
