On some recent recordings (2002 or newer), he also plays baritone saxophone. I never finished adding recording dates and locations and track listings. Most albums have this information, but not all. This a discography, not a sessionography. It does not include not-officially-available material such as radio broadcasts, audience recordings, and unreleased studio sessions.
