"...and drummers.......or reed playeers? I wanna's see where you can go with this........"


                In the sense of trying to stay on topic, things seem to turn around with reeds. Pete Fountain, Benny Goodman, and
Artie Shaw played clarinets and were white, while John Coltrain and
Charlie Parker played saxaphones.

                European voices singing high notes sound like clarinets, while their lower notes sound like trombones: while African voices singing higher notes sound like trumpets, while their lower notes sound like saxaphones.
