Yes, but you can remedy that by adding your name to the list. Surf the site
to find out how.

Who knows, that might generate a mention on the list of "greatest" living
jazz tenor sax players. According to the "fan" poll taken by "All About
Jazz" a few years ago when Michael Brecker was still alive. The results?

20% Sonny Rollins
 9% Michael Brecker
 9% Joshua Redman
 9% Wayne Shorter 
 9% Joe Henderson
 6% James Carter
 5% David Murray 
 4% Branford Marsalis
 3% Ken Vandermark

26% Other which included:
Joe Lovano, Chris Potter, Eric Alexander, Joe McPhee, Pharoah Sanders,
Johnny Griffin, Dewey Redman, Jerry Bergonzi, Bud Shank, Jan Garbarek,
Archie Shepp, Fred Anderson, Dave Liebman, Evan Parker, Sam Rivers
Charles Lloyd.

As we can see, OKOM needs some representation on that list. Harry Allen for
example.

Cheers,
