Product Description

The outstanding characteristic of the saxophone is its uncanny ability to create an array of sounds, many of which appear to simulate the human voice
The outstanding characteristic of the saxophone is its uncanny ability to create an array of sounds, many of which appear to simulate the human voice
It can be made to laugh, to wail, to bark, to caress, to evoke the barnyard or to romanticise a pretty tune.
It is this capacity to create its own distinctive musical aura which makes the saxophone the instrument of choice for dance bands and jazz groups
Two dozen classic performances by the greatest names in saxophone jazz. Music to feast on, to enjoy and to appreciate over and over again.
Subtle Background Tracks - Ideal For Cocktail Parties
The CD album includes an informative physical booklet with liner notes.

There is something inherent in the saxophone's tonal capabilities which enables it to suggest romance or blissful calm, a languorous quality which, in the hands of the right musicians, can create an alluring mood.
