[78-L] Tenor Sax Styles.

[Dan Van Landingham]

You're right,Bridges did play nice tenor.I remember him for a Bluebird 78 of "A La Bridges"
which was on some album I had heard years ago.Fred Beckett was in the band then and
Tadd Dameron did the tune and arrangement.The record dated from sometime in 1940.

Yeah,,but Leonard had a pretty fair altoist with him for a cup of coffee.
