This is my tribute to the marvelously talented saxophonist, CARMEN LEGGIO (1928-2009). He is my favorite melodic saxist (among so many greats; Zoot Sims quickly comes to mind) - a self-taught natural genius artist who “made his own chords” and lived and breathed his music.
These are 3 of his Solos with the Woody Herman Orchestra 1963-64 on these tunes: A TASTE OF HONEY, THE FOUR BROTHERS, and “that lovely ballad”, CALDONIA.
Those early 60’s Woody Bands were just incredible – you will see Carmen playing in the sax section with Jackie Stevens (also a great, underrated player), the great Sal Nistico, and baritonists Tom Anastas and Nick Brignola. On Bill Chase’s TASTE/HONEY, watch his expressions as he weaves around the melody – every note straight from his heart to his horn. He has my utmost respect for his talent and love of music.
These 3 Solos are taken from the 1963 “Jazz Casual” TV broadcast and the 1964 Montreal TV broadcast issued as DVD, “Woody Herman & His Swingin' Herd 1964”.
BTW, Carmen was primarily a Tenor player, but I know he played some Alto as well, because in a 1998 interview, he said that he played lead alto with Buddy Rich’s Big Band for 10 days in New Orleans in the early 60’s. He viewed himself primarily as a small group player.
CARMEN LEGGIO, I salute you, my friend.
