About Big Jay McNeely
Big Jay McNeely was an American tenor saxophonist known for his honking, high-energy R&B saxophone style. He gained fame in the late 1940s and 1950s for wild stage showmanship, often playing while lying on his back, influencing the raucous saxophone tradition in rock and roll.
