Jazz legend Willie Akins playing his signature smooth sound during the 2013 Whitaker Music Festival in St Louis. @mobotgarden #jazz #willieakins #nature #saxophone
Akins passed in his sleep where he was born, in Webster Groves, MO on Friday October 02, 2015.
Although Akins had to slow down in his years his sound was as patient as the careful winds of a warm summer breeze. You knew he had something to tell when he held his saxophone but when the sound greeted you it was as familiar as the voice of someone you knew. That was his gift and jazz was his eternal playground.
