Baritone saxophone player Cecil Payne (1922-2007). He originally played alto saxophone, but trumpet player Dizzy Gillespie persuaded him to turn to baritone, which fit Dizzy’s infamous bebop bigband better, in the late 40s. The leader himself provided the instrument, and Payne would play it for the rest of his life.
