	Illinois Jacquet Biography
		Illinois Jacquet may not be the biggest name in jazz, and I've had a difficult time finding many of his CDs, but he is one of my personal favorites.
		Jacquet was a young (about 22 years old) up-and-coming saxophone player and though he wasn't the leader of the saxophone section, Hampton still selected Jacquet to play a solo on a song that was destined to become a big band (and Hampton) classic Flying Home.
		Jacquet is of the belief that people like to hear the solo they bought on the record, so he usually plays the same one.

	Review: Illinois Jacquet, THE COMEBACK (C. Jeffrey Morris) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Jacquet was always fond of playing with an organ (his recording of "Port of Rico" with Count Basie remains a classic) and he found a very compatible "other half" in one of the daddies of swing organ, Milt Buckner.
		Here, we are reminded that Jacquet is truly a fine balladeer, though this thought is quickly crushed by the onslaught of the Ellington staple, "'C' Jam Blues." Solos are overblown (see "Take the 'A' Train") and Jacquet even tries to sing on the last track.
		On the original LP, there is a rather amusing exchange between Jacquet and an audience member in which the former berates the latter for talking to her date during the performance.

	Jazz Police - Honking Tenor, Illinois Jacquet, 1922-2004
		In addition to establishing “Flying Home” as a classic tenor sax solo, Jacquet was well known for his trademark “honking” and use of the “altissimo” range that extended the tenor 2-1/2 octaves higher than previously conceived.
		When Texans had difficulty pronouncing his French name, he adopted the nickname "Illinois" from "Illiniwek," the Indian word for "superior man." Playing in local bands with his older brother Russell on trumpet, Jacquet was working with fellow Texans Eddie Cleanhead Vinson and Arnette Cobb when Lionel Hampton came along in 1941.
		Unable to persuade Cobb to move to LA with his band, Hampton instead hired Jacquet and urged him to switch to tenor.
