The BuZZ will become famous soon enough
Most Lyrical Jazzer

Who, in your opinion do you find to be the most melodic improvisor, regardless of tempo or style?
For me, that would be Art Farmer.............. Man, regardless of the groove, tempo, or the complexity of the chord changes, Art was so damn lyrical! The cat just played so musical when he improvised! Flumpet, Flugelhorn, or Trumpet just sang when he played any of them...........very fortunate to have heard him live on three occasions!
