Supersax was an American jazz group, created in 1972 by saxophonist Med Flory and bassist Buddy Clark as a tribute to saxophonist Charlie Parker.
[1] The group's music consisted of harmonized arrangements of Parker's improvisations[2] played by a saxophone section (two altos, two tenors, and a baritone), rhythm section (bass, piano, drums), and a brass instrument (trombone or trumpet).
[3] On the group's recordings their music was tightly orchestrated, with arrangements by Flory that contained little or no calls for improvisation (although members of the band would often solo at live performances).
[4] Saxophonist Warne Marsh was a member in the first edition of the group,[1] and although he was never given freedom to solo on any officially released materials, Lee Konitz has stated that there are bootleg tapes of the group where Warne played a solo.
Med Flory also wrote the vocal arrangements for the L.A. Voices recordings, as well as sang bass.
