Jean-Baptiste "Illinois" Jacquet (October 30, 1922 – July 22, 2004) was an American jazz tenor saxophonist, best remembered for his solo on "Flying Home", critically recognized as the first R&B saxophone solo. Although he was a pioneer of the honking tenor saxophone that became a regular feature of jazz playing and a hallmark of early rock and roll, Jacquet was a skilled and melodic improviser, both on up-tempo tunes and ballads

Jean Baptiste Illinois Jacquet is one of the last of the big tenors. LabelM's re-release of Jacquet's big band Atlantic Recording Jacquet's Got It is more than welcome. The majority of big band music being made today is experimental and progressive. Like Mozart's music, the pieces on this album require no digestion. These sound circle right around your brainstem and tickle those swing receptors that make one's feet start to tap a perfect 4/4. The arrangements, the majority by Jacquet, are robust and meaty with tastefully earthy twists. Lester Young's "Tickletoe" sports Jacquet tenor solo with the band strolling and a blistering trumpet solo by Jon Faddis over a romping brass and reeds backdrop. Arnette Cobb's "Smooth Sailing" is played with a saunter swagger sporting the low brass in the band.
