Talk:List of saxophonists

message: There was a proposal at Talk:Saxophonist to change Saxophonist to List of saxophonists.  The content from the old article was pasted into a new article, and I have changed the Saxophonist article to a redirect.  I posted the following comments at Talk:Saxophonist:
:It probably would have been better to do a page move, rather than copy the content into a new article.  I have made the old page into a redirect, which I guess will accomplish the same thing. I'm thinking that the articles that still link [to "Saxophonist"] (i.e. when the word "saxophonist" occurs) should, for the most part, link to the main Saxophone article instead (or in any event, should skip the redirect). I'll try to get started on that task in a bit.

replies: text: OK, now that the elevator has finally reached the top floor I can see how it would make more sense to redirect "Saxophonist" to "Saxophone." -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 23:56, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Saxophonist --> <del>List of saxophonists</del> Saxophone

message: Why list Han Bennink and not his brother (Peter), and Why not list Anne Zwaga? If the norm is one's influence or activity, I would list Sean Bergin (VPRO Boy Edgar price winner) and Anne Zwaga (Played on the North Sea Jazz Festival). As a matter of fact Han playing the saxophone is not even mentioned on his wikipedia page!
:I started something on Sean Bergin, but I slept so poorly it's probably riddled with errors. Hope those interested can fix it.--T. Anthony 02:48, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, why not?  Although I've never heard of any of these people.  Please sign your posts.  Badagnani 19:31, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: That would probably be because they are more or less Dutch, and so am I (but hé Amsterdam was part of COBRA!). I think some guidelince must be stated. Number of CD's? Mentioned as influence? Books on theories? Major festivals? Yes, I'll sign now: Jouke 19:41, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: AFAIK there is but one requirement to make this list: that the person plays some type of saxophone enough to be identified as a "saxophonist".  Add whoever you like that fits that criterion. ¦ Reisio 02:49, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

text: Usually we add people who are notable in some way for their performances and/or recordings.  Badagnani 03:08, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

message: am doing a little work on Rock (disambiguation) and note that all the rock saxophonists have ended up in Rock and Roll and not Rock (music), which i feel would be more appropriate. of course some may be rock and roll saxophonists, but i would leave that to those more knowledgable about the instrument. comments?

replies: text: Good work.  I think there may be a handful of pre-1960s "rock and roll" (i.e. rhythm and blues) saxists in the list for which "rock" wouldn't be appropriate.  Why not make a list here of the ones you want to change if you aren't familiar with them?  Badagnani 23:43, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

text: Liu Yuan plays in Cui Jian's rock band, which is pretty heavy; Angelo Moore plays in Fishbone, which is a pretty heavy band with funk and ska influences; you can change both to rock.  Badagnani 00:23, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

text: Hey, Reisio, the changes were good before you reverted; it is true that the term "rock and roll" is generally used for the earliest R&B-style music and most musicians of the '60s and later prefer the term "rock."  Badagnani 13:58, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, people are Talk:'ing too fast for me these days or I'm going too slow.  I'll step aside and let you guys do your business. ¦ Reisio 14:26, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

text: Great info, why not give it a shot yourself?  Just "copy" and "paste" a player, then substitute the new info.  You can use "preview" to check it worked before saving your edits.  Badagnani 08:34, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Rock" saxophonists 

message: I do not know how to revert a page...but in the list of saxophonists, it seems Pat Patrick, who seems to be a real saxophonist, was replaced by Alex Patton--and google for "alex patton saxophone" doesn't seem to turn up anything.--Todd 18:50, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, Todd--good call. I've fixed it. To revert a page, go to the page's "history" tab (at the top), select "compare selected versions" (after moving the dots so you can compare the two you want). Then, if the older of the two is the one you want to revert to, click the heading for that article which says "Revision of...," then click the "edit" tab, then "save page."  You'll then be reverted to the version you prefer. Badagnani 19:33, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Questionable edit 

message: Why in the world is Bill Evans on the list? A person even vaguely familiar with jazz should know that Evans is a pianist, not a saxophonist. I don't believe that he is confused with another Bill Evans, but if he is, the link still leads to the jazz pianist and not to the alleged saxophonist.
:There is indeed a fairly well known saxophonist named 'Bill Evans'. ¦ Reisio 23:13, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: For the person "vaguely familiar with jazz": Saxophonist Bill Evans played with Miles Davis ca. 20 years after pianist Bill Evans did. Check out We Want Miles e.g. Moreover, saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist Yusef Lateef recorded under the name Bill Evans with Dizzy. :) ---Sluzzelin 20:31, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Just added Bennie Maupin, King Curtis, Emilio Castillo, Courtney Pine.  If they're missing, I suspect other equally notable names are!  Stevekeiretsu 06:03, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

text: What size(s) did he play? Yeah, he should be added. Badagnani 06:44, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If you know the sizes they play, go ahead and add them.  I know about half these names. Badagnani (talk) 06:43, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Would be nice to use this page as a central info page for sax gear list (which is always interesting for saxophonists) ... I added the David Sanborn gear list as an example ... of course we would need to come up with a simple gear list nomenclature for clarity (I'm ok to propose one). The gear list would include : sax, mouthpiece, reeds and (maybe) ligature type.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.121.66.147 (talk) 14:02, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think adding this is a very poor idea. It should be in the individual articles for the individual musicians. Badagnani (talk) 16:58, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

text: In the above light, please remove the gear and move it to the individual players' articles. Thank you. Badagnani (talk) 15:21, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Does the list intend to include all notable saxophonists (e.g. everyone in List of jazz saxophonists)? If so I guess Greg Abate. I don't know much about the field so can't add him myself. Nil Einne (talk) 23:13, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

message: I hope Wikielwikingo doesn't mind the edit I made a while ago to Ernie Watts' entry. By moving his "mystery horn" info to the footnotes area, I made the Tenor column look more normal. Now, does anybody know the meaning of the "X+F" in the Alto column for several players, e.g. Anthony Braxton? DutchmanInDisguise (talk) 14:17, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

message: Why aren't Tina Turner's Saxophonists on here? Deric Dyer, Euge Groove and Tim Cappello. Groove has done two tours with her and Cappello at least five. Cappello has also played with Peter Gabriel, Ringo Starr and Carly Simon as well as appearing in the Movie "The Lost Boys" playing the Sax. I don't really know how to add all that and the links or I would do it myself.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.211.119.1 (talk) 10:17, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

message: Would anyone be in favour of creating a split off list of classical saxophonists such as there is for jazz saxophonists? I am happy to create it myself but want to get others' opinions before going to the effort. As it is, the list of all saxophonists is very long and takes a fair amount of trawling through to find players in the genre you're interested in. Please comment with support/oppose.
