Sam Newsome: To Play or Not to Play the Soprano

Those who know me, know that i have a special feeling for the soprano saxophone. I love playing tenor but it is with this intrument that I found the direction i was looking for in terms of sound, the moment i picked it up. Despite this i have often doubted whether being exclusively, or at least primarily a soprano player to be a good thing. This article by soprano saxophinist is an interesting read and goes some way to answering some of those questions.
