HARRY SIMONEAUX

Harry Simoneaux is a Louisiana tenor player and a great exponent of Cajun and "swamp pop" styles of saxophone playing. This solo from a live Johnny Allan set is a great example of this style. The solo sits nicely on the chord tones but with plenty of chromatic passing notes and embellishments to keep it interesting. Note the very distinctive articulation, almost every note is tongued to give the whole solo a really driving swing that locks in with the rhythm section dance groove.
