	Saxophone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is commonly considered relatively easy to become a competent saxophonist, especially when transferring from other woodwind instruments, but a considerable amount of practice is usually required to develop a pleasing tone color and fluent technique.
		Other saxophonists maintain that the material has little, if any, effect on the sound, and that the physical dimensions give a mouthpiece its tone color.
		When a saxophonist plays a C on the staff on an E-flat alto, the note sounds as E-flat a sixth below the written note.

	In lovely whispers and piercing wails, saxophonist Stan Getz found the bittersweet heart of jazz and bossa nova (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Sauter, a great composer-arranger who worked with Getz in Benny Goodman's band in the mid-1940s, when the virtuoso saxophonist was still in his teens, didn't write a part for Getz; he let him create his own spaces in response to the music, which bears the mark of Bartok and Ravel.
		Saxophonist Zoot Sims, who played with Getz in Woody Herman's stellar "Four Brothers'' band in the late '40s, described him as "a nice bunch of guys.'' Those around Getz -- among them his five children from two marriages -- never knew which side of Getz's personality they'd encounter.
		Written for and first performed by another master, Ellington alto saxophonist Johnny Hodges, "Blood Count'' is a meditation on mortality that Getz first recorded on his 1982 album "Pure Getz.'' He alternately wails and whispers, answering his piercing cries with plaintive sighs.

	Harry Allen tenor saxophonist - reviews
		A tenor saxophonist out of the swing-to-bob Stan Getz school, Allen is a lyrical stylist who loves presenting a good melody and then adding his own beautifully constructed variations.
		The 35-year-old tenor saxophonist with the rich, creamy sound makes his local club debut on Saturday at the Regattabar, as special guest with vocalist Donna Byrne and her quartet.
		Instead of opting for the traditional jazz quartet of piano, bass, and drums, Allen instead employees the neo-funk stylings of Larry Goldings and Peter Bernstein in a tenor-Hammond B-3-guitar roadhouse combination that is as turkey and dressing as it is collard greens and ham hocks.

	Andrew Rathbun \| Saxophonist and Composer
		However, it is their long association with alto/soprano saxophonist Loren Stillman (How Sweet It Is, Gin Bon and It Could Be Anything) that piqued my interest, especially when there were so many places in Shadow Forms in which echoes of Stillman's records could be heard.
		Rathbun relates in the notes that the album's title is meant to denote the compositional methodology in relation to form, calling it “open moments within a codified form.” This allows the players great freedom, but with a concomitant requirement of close attention and concentration to make music which needs close listening.
		Toronto-born, New York-based saxophonist and composer Andrew Rathbun is in the forefront of a new generation of jazz innovators.

	Anders Lundegard, classical saxophonist
		The flute partita, performed on soprano saxophone as well, mimics the timbre of the Baroque era transverse flute.
		Although the occasional appearance of double-stops in the violin partita and the cello suite challenges the saxophonist, Bach's impeccable counterpoint allows the single-line instrument to remodel these as arpeggios.
		J.S. composed all of his unaccompanied music for violin, cello and flute from 1718-1725, seven dramatic years marked by trauma and change - the title page for one of the cello suites reads "lonely but free." The flute partita dates from 1718, while Bach served Prince Leopold as Kapellmeister at Cöthen.
