Doing the Cash Box reviews the last few days I came across two amazing sax breaks on records that I did not know before.

“SAD HEAD BLUES” - MR. SAD HEAD (RCA Victor 20-5089) - 1952

Anybody know who the sax player is on the above?

Got my answer:

There are two saxes by relative unknowns, Willie Smith (ts) & Coleman Watson (bs). Both were part of the better known Billy Ford Orchestra.
