Brian Sacawa, of Sounds Like Now has put up Branford Marsalis’s words that I had posted some time ago. Only he put more of the conversation up. Enjoy!

I’m not exactly sure what makes sax sexy and oboe not, but I have to admit I think it’s true. I do think, though, that we get the juicy, “make ’em weep” sort of solos. The kind that will force you to fall on the floor in a puddle of tears; we get you in the heart and the gut.

So there.
