"Wayne’s Alto Sax and Soul are inseperable. It is almost impossible to determine where one ends and the other begins..."
Wayne Wofford (The Wolf), one of the most gifted improvisational players of our time, was tuned into music by his older brother’s drumming at age eight and couldnt quite finalize in his mind whether he would, like his brother, play drums or another instrument.Then he saw the Count Bassie Orchestra perform and a dynamic alto player stood up and took a solo. Well all doubts subsiding, Wayne saw and heard his future in those few seconds and saw himself, center stage. The rest as they say in "showbiz" is music history.Wayne derives his strengths from his belief in God and family. he considers his most outstanding character when asked is..."perseverance." he is however, a perfectionist and is highly criical of his music.His ultimate goal is to chisel and hone in on his instruments to the point where when he puts the sax on, and his mouth to his reed, like a faucet, he pours out his soul through his horn, telling the secret of his life force.
