My dad listens to an absolute TON of jazz, and reads about jazz, and had me playing jazz until grade 12.... and I guess some of it wore off!

I think I know it because my dad called him a "saxaphone coloussus", and I thought it was a funny way to describe him, so dad read my the quote... it was a magazine profile or something, right? It was supremely well written, whoever it was!
