Messrs. Gannett, Pilafian, and Johnson, to name VERY few would be players who ANYONE might want to emulate. That might be a good start. I have issue with your statement that there is no standard sound. Seems to me that for years evry Alto player has been trying to emulate either Bird or Paul Desmond, Tenor players have prayed at the shrine of Trane, and trumpet players for 2 generations wanted to sound like Louis or Bix. Generalities, generalities, generalities....................
