George Howard is feloniously overlooked in the annals of smooth jazz soprano saxophonists in favor of guys like Kenny G. and Dave Koz. Talk about favortism...

Actually there is a sax player who did cover his some of his songs. I can't think of who he is at the moment. Also, the player was on a small label so he didn't get much notice.

Let me tell what type of brother George was, I met him when I was an amature comedian he asked me to send him a tape of my performance. viewed it and then took me on tour with him. I will never forget that a true brother helping an up and coming artist trying to get starting.... Miss you my brother.

George Howard and Art Porter left me permanently sad and unhappy for their passing. Howard left me begging for more, whilst he was alive, and now I will have to be satisfied with what he gave us.. I wonder how far his sound would have gone, had he lived...?
@4.carmeljwn4 жыл бұрын
Very well said. I still get sad thinking of how young he was when he transitioned. Although he lived a full life, wow if he was still here. The possibilities are endless❤🎷😭

I saw George Howard on the cd101.9 jazz cruise just before he passed away... what a performance. Miss his style so much... he reminds me of grover but with a diff edge. He is missed dearly.

This is a great performance from all of the musicians. You can feel their energy in the music. No doubt, George is missed...especially in spring and summer, when the outdoor concerts are going on. This music is eternal.

George Howard was the soprano saxophone Funk groover of the very late 70s, very early 80s. His style was sort of personal, unique and earthy, but somewhat akin to that of Art Porter's of the very early 80s. Their soprano saxophone magnificence predated that of other young soprano saxophone artists of the 80s + 90s They may be compared to no other soprano saxophone instrumentalist - style and sound. RIP - The both of them whose legacies will endure the tests of time.

I read that George Howard was overlooked by jazz critics because he focused more on " ... goove and overall sound instead of improvisation". This video says more than any critic. The playing in this video rivals the stuff John Coltrane and Charlie Parker is known for. After some more digging, I found a biography that stated it was Georges father that introduced him to cats like Charlie Parker and John Coltrane. Let''s face it. You can hear it in his playing.

teddyhart2913: Very thoughtful question. As a musician I can tell you that the energy is different live...pure adrenaline. Also in the studio you tend to be more careful playing because of recording,costs and other intangibles. Hope my answer helps. I used to wonder the same thing until I started performing live.
