Big Jay McNeely & his honkin' sax
Big Jay McNeely
Editorial
Rhythm & blues giant Big Jay McNeely’s weapon of choice is none other than the tenor sax, which has served him well since the late 1940s. His full-bodied “honking” with the instrument must have ruffled quite a few feathers back in the day – to say nothing of his confronting stage presence – but the ’50s saw McNeely in serious demand. He left music in the 1970s to work as a postman, but he returned the following decade and hasn’t looked back. Today the American mainstay is 84 years young and still touring up a storm, this time with ace trumpeter Adam Hall.
