3 observations about the Lucky Thompson's video: (1) his mustache is on point; (2) his mouthpiece is pushed all the way down the cork; (3) the drummer's snare playing is incredible.

[@ChipTingle]

Joe Farrell, Ralph Moore, Pete Christlieb, James Moody, Red Holloway, Chico and Von Freeman, Bob Sheppard (sp?), George Garzone… you got me going! Thanks 🙏

[@giammysax6087]

Is GOOD ❤️❤️❤️🎼🎷🎷🎷

[@josephstratemeier8619]

2:33 is that Marcus Miller playing upright? Damn never seen him do that.

[@sonnyvictor3521]

What about Arnett Cobb? He played with Lionel Hamton

[@mambojazz1]

Frank Foster

[@user-ez6pw3nt9n]

❤️💕😍😍

[@jiyujizai]

💛☺️🌱🌷

[@espr7564]

Love to see a video, the most over rated sax players 😁

[@andrewbillek9209]

I'm waiting for the ten most over rated players. There are some objectively mediocre musicians out there who have managed to make a living in music. But since it is all about taste and level of sophistication there can never be such a list! Right?

[@chuckciao1]

Someone who has played with the fabulous Mingus band from the early 60’s should definitely not be considered underrated!

[@mambojazz1]

Underrated. EVENTHOUGH played with the Mingus band never got the same recognition as say,."Eric Dolphy" as a saxophone master

[@allandavis6116]

David Newman has always been one of my all time favorites.

[@pablopabon588]

Warne Marsh great 🎷 horn player and in my humble view the most underrated on this excellent list.

[@JS-dt1tn]

Warne baby! Dig him with Sal Mosca live at the vanguard. He's one of the few players to always have humor in his playing, like Sonny or Bird.

[@gabrielnekrutman998]

Crazy how he actually died live during a set after a solo

[@JS-dt1tn]

playing "out of nowhere" no less!

[@JS-dt1tn]

heart attack I believe

[@paxwallacejazz]

Marsh, so damn smart much smarter than his tone.

[@mambojazz1]

​@@paxwallacejazzhuh?! What do you mean?!

[@seanlambert2865]

Have some of Houston's cd's and worked with him. Great melodic player

[@TheSaxmanrick]

So glad you included Warne Marsh. Got into him when christlieb released apogee.

[@duncancofell8960]

THIS is the video I needed! I've been looking for more players to add to my list to check out and this video and the alto version have been awesome. Although Fathead Newman is one I have heard of! Captain Buckles is a killer one. Also Eddie Harris I heard of thanks to Cold Duck Time. My favorite channel...

[@brianwysingle5639]

Happened to hear Houston at Blue Note in NY @2004. Had never heard of him but he quickly became one of my favorites. His forceful tone deliberate approach tempered by a calm confidence much like his presence. Good Call Mr. Sanders.

[@LeMelleKH2]

CLIFFORD!!!! Thanks for putting him on!

[@piotrsalamon6212]

Maby few more: Carter Jefferson, Jim Pepper, Tubby Hyes. They are also great:))

[@vova47]

Underrated by whom?....... I thought all of them were pretty established players. Lucky Thompson and Clifford Jordan are my personal favourites but Tina Brooks, Billy Mitchell, Junior Cook, Richie Kamuca, Sal Nistico, Joe Romano and Harold Vick, for example, are even more underrated among American tenor players IMO. Cheers, Senator!

[@edyoung9374]

outstanding vids & selections~

[@PeekaPeep]

YES, you got Houston on the list! Gene Ammons' natural successor and currently having one of the better late-career runs of any sax player around these days. Sucks I only have two albums of his as leader, but I'll definitely go out and get more when I have the chance. Seeing Lucky on there was another win, through his work on soprano was even more interesting (finally got Coltrane to dabble in it).

[@Jacques5646]

Once again, great and tasteful choice. Congratulations

[@langfordjazz]

Solid list!

[@phillyons8531]

Thanks for including Serge - The Best of The Best.

[@BerniesBootlegs1]

You're welcome!

[@pablopabon588]

Lucky Thompson with kenny " Klook " Clarke on drums priceless.

[@funnylittlehorn891]

Thanks for the great compilation. What about Willis Jackson?

[@monktrane325]

I saw Clifford Jordan, he was amazing.

[@jsem94]

Have you had Jesper Thilo yet? Great danish player. Haven't seen Benny Golson or Zoot Sims either IIRC. Some great players in this list. Love Fathead and Scott Hamilton. You're doing the world a great service Bernie!

[@damianodami7582]

Dewey.........great

[@lawrencemoore]

I saw Red Holloway live a couple of times in the '80s, once leading the band that opened for and backed Big Joe Turner at the Parisian Room in LA, the other time at the Jazz Safari in Long Beach with Sonny Stitt. He was a great player. (I enjoyed him more than Stitt in fact, if I may engage in some heresy.)

[@marcroigcebrian]

Hank mobley, Buddy collette, brew moore, teddy edwards, von and chico freeman, allen eager, phil urso, bennie wallace and dave schnitter ,ten more

[@eliveltonreis6186]

Thanks!

[@paxwallacejazz]

David Fathead Newman so musical on Makin Whoopee with great back up! The only cat Chris Potter didn't get or was it almost didn't get on Blindfold test.

[@kaleelmoore2742]

Hip stuff. Is Clifford Jordan playing over Round Midnight?

[@chenquintero]

Make Baritone sax players list! Nice Chanel!

[@samferguson9171]

Love Clifford Jordan :)

[@SylasXavier]

Never in my life i will think that senator bernard sanders loves jazz,the world is very crazy!regards from brazil.kkkkkk

[@robertgalardi3731]

not underrated, but not listened to by the garbage called music today .. These guys were geniuses that played the most interesting music ever conceived by man or women .

[@kaleelmoore2742]

I've never heard anyone play over Beatrice quite the way Sam Rivers did.

[@wyndhleodumegwu253]

"Standard Jazz": melodic, methodical, excellent, coherent, smooth, cool, literal, progressive, relaxing, pleasant, pleasing, understood, beautiful, peaceful, soothing, effervescent, organized, unencumbered, "natural"... Do Flip Philips, Lucky Thompson, Paul Gonsalves, Paul Quinnochette, and Bud Johnson belong to this group of the "most underrated"? I adore your selections of the "most underrated". Thanks!

[@clovismelo-art6301]

Belíssimos...🎶👍🎷👏

[@michaelhorton1350]

Never failed to admire Fathead’s tone. That’s my goal on alto. Houston Person has a great catalog and very good production values. Not to say he’s better, but the sonic presentation is vastly better. Great covers of standards. Lockjaw Davis should be on an all-time list along w/Bean, Prez, Jug, Cannonball, Cleanhead, Jeep, Illinois, Bird, both Franks, not necessarily in that order. Great chops by several, but the feeling is set-piece-like, more suited to woodshed. And not ‘saying’ much beyond the saxophone version of speed-talking.

[@paxwallacejazz]

Always very steep Mr Heath.

[@leandroquintella6349]

Warne Marsh is top!

[@armthealiens]

Great list. Don Byas would have fitted this one nicely.

[@PatrickManzecchi]

Well, Don Byas is very well known as a Giant, a Titan, right?

[@m4x358]

Don Byas was featured in the earlier episode of underrated tenor players

[@zebozi]

Sonny Fortune sends you his regards.

[@michaeldean9338]

'Fat Head' Newman. Also a fantastic flautist, with a beautiful tone.

Gene Ammons, Stan Getz?

[@daviddupont9913]

Check out Ernie Krivda

[@jugglerjoganoy]

Anybody know what mouthpiece Dewey red man is using?

[@ronaldclarke4844]

Gene Ammons was also a great player

[@dolphytone]

Dewey's always used a Berg Larsen around 95/2 size. Never played an Otto link like his son Joshua

[@saxfime5843]

Strictly my opinion. The best saxophonist is Warne March Warne March Warne March Warne March. He's out of such competition.

[@SylasXavier]

And now i am your best friend.kkkk

[@gabrielpreston5129]

Benny Golson?

[@PatrickManzecchi]

...not underrated IMO

[@lottierose8668]

were was david sanborn and kenny g ?????

[@wyndhleodumegwu253]

To exclude altoist Dave Sanborn, one speaks herein of the most underrated - not the MOST OVERRATED (lgh) Dave can adjust fairly satisfactorily when it is a question of "Organic Real Jazz" (To see his duet with Phil Woods) (Get well Bernie, for God's goodness' sake!) Additionally, one comments herein on JAZZ - "Organic Real Jazz" Musicians'

[@Thouveninpascal]

This jazzmen serie "underrated" does not concern many of them; mostly they were some of greatest sidemen or big band men, and here excepted Deway Redman, that I didn't know and I don't know so much jazz, every artist had a great career, smetimes as leader. Warn Marsh, Lucky Thompson unrrated? Ridiculous M.Senator.

[@abrahamgamboa]

YES Bernie the jazz president.....hope you get elected next time!!!!

[@jong0000]

where's Dick Heckstall-Smith?

[@dennisjones4180]

or Andy Hamilton?

[@armthealiens]

There are far better clips of Jimmy Heath

[@andyokus4930]

IRA Sullivan!!!
