Most overlooked but one of the best men in the band is first saxist Milt Yaner. And if you don't think that having a first sax that knows how to lead a section is important, listen to Benny Goodman's orchestra right now. He has one of the best alto solo men around, but when the section plays together, it sounds like a battle royal. With Jimmy's bunch, however, it's just one smooth tone, and Yaner is the gentleman responsible for this very telling factor...
