He is a Grammy winner with 14 other nominations and has won DownBeat’s Critics and Readers Polls countless times as Tenor Saxophonist, Musician of the Year, and Jazz Album of the Year. He has also received numerous awards from JazzTimes and the Jazz Journalists Association for Tenor Saxophone, Album of the Year, and Musician of the Year. His recording and performing credits include collaborations with a long list of jazz greats, including Tony Bennett, Abbey Lincoln, McCoy Tyner, Hank Jones, and Ornette Coleman, among many others. NPR calls him “one of the jazz world’s most celebrated musicians,” while The Guardian says he is a “giant American elder of jazz reeds-playing” who seems “ to be simmering all his decades of timeless tunes and exquisite passing phrases down to essences.”
