As the voice saying "Ooh, last night" at the start of the Mar-Keys' Last Night with just the one single under his own name, one might be inclined to label this sax player Obscure.But his role in the Mar-Keys and an extensive list of session credits shifts Newman towards Significant. File under: Memphis Session Players.
