If you want to know who taught your favourite sax player..Joe Allard
Allard's analytical approach was combined with a principle he called "inner-hearing" or "pre-hearing"; allowing the sound that is in one's mind to be the guide for tonal control and musical ideas. He first discovered this concept in an illustration from Herbert Spencer's First Principles. As Allard recalls,
The story is told of an artist who created a work based on a picture that was in his mind, what Spencer called the "inner world." And as it came out on canvas, the picture represented the outer world. If the outer world didn't coincide with the inner world, [the artist would] tear it up, throw it in the wastepaper basket and start all over again.
