Since several names oare of those wo have passed on, then I wuld 
certainly add the late Tommy Newsome. And still with us is a membver of 
my old North Hollywood high shcool jaz band, later mainstay of the 
Tonight Show band as well, John Bambrighe.
And while he seldom received credit for it. my old man was no sluc on 
tenor sax, and a heavyweight on baritone, alt and clarinet and bass 
clarinet as well.
Arno Marsh is still going strong -- he often plays gigs here in 
Michigan, his home state.
I had the pleasure of working with Bob McCracken who certainly earned 
his spurs on tenor - the "Sheriff" was another good player.
I am sure I have missed some that should be on the list, but at least I 
have contributed some names that belong on it.
