Synopsis

The saxophone - for connoisseurs and lovers
As motorcycle fans can love the sound of a Harley, which is much more than a mere means of transport, so the instrument plays an important role for the musician. Saxophonists tinker with great dedication on their mouthpiece, and the joint "trip" with other musicians in the form of a jam session is an event. Ralf Dombrowski shows the diverse relationships between different musicians who tried to outdo each other and trump with new sounds. He follows the footsteps of the saxophone into the military bands, New Orleans, clubs and pubs, but also on the concert stages and the recording studio. How groundbreaking albums - including Coleman Hawkins, John Coltrane and Jan Garbarek - were created and what makes them up is the subject of a chapter of its own.
Through the idea of the components and their functioning, the reader learns the reasons for sound differences, the different designs of the instrument family are briefly portrayed and the most important manufacturers are characterized. Basic tips for developing your own style as well as possible training and career paths complete the band.
