Claire Martin looks back at the career of the late UK saxophonist Joe Temperley including tributes from trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, saxophonist Tommy Smith and jazz educator Richard Michael. Joe Temperley started playing the saxophone at the age of 14 and played with the orchestras and groups of some of the biggest names in jazz including Humphrey Lyttelton, Buddy Rich, Woody Herman, Joe Henderson and Duke Ellington. He was an original member of one of the leading big bands in the world, the New York-based Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. Richard Michael, our key contributor for this special edition, worked closely with Joe when he was a guest mentor with the Fife Youth Jazz Orchestra and shares his memories of working with Joe. He also selects some of his favourite Temperley recordings as well as navigating us through ´óÏó´«Ã½ archive recordings, including Joe performing with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra plus a homecoming performance in Lochgelly, Fife, with pianist Brian Kellock.
