The Wailin’ Mailman, Buck Hill, may be the finest tenor saxophone player you’ve ever heard. Mr. Hill has been recognized by jazz aficionados all over the world, and "Buck Hill Day has been declared in Washington, DC and Ottawa, Canada. He’s now in his mid-seventies, but only in the last 10 or 15 years have many people come to know him. That’s because despite playing sax since he was a teenager at Armstrong High School—the alma mater of Duke Ellington and a host of Washington music greats, from Billy Stewart to the Clovers—he made his living delivering mail and with his wife raised five children. Nights and weekends he played in clubs, belting out swing and bebop solos that have a sound all their own; vacations he usually spent playing festivals in Europe.  Long known and admired in jazz circles, Mr. Hill has played and recorded with artists like Sonny Stitt, Shirley Horn, Gene Ammons, Miles Davis, Cannonball Adderly and other greats. BUCK HILL's skills are immaculate, his credentials impeccable
