Tenor Giants - Jazz Ballads 17 TQMP

When I spotted the jazz Ballads set of cds (20 all together) I missed some giants in it. First one was Ella, Sarah Vaughan, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Anita O'Day but also Dexter Gordon, John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Wyane shorter...Well, the #17 is a correction to sax palyers, incuding Dexter Gordon, Wardell Gray, Sonny Stit, Illinois Jacquet, Al Cohn, Zoot Sims and Flip Phillips performances. anyhow, this 20 cds are great and I hope that the collection will continue... The saxophone is a relatively new invention; appropriate for an instrument closely connected with a modern music form like jazz, it was first patented in Paris in 1846 by Antoine Joseph Sax. The first half of the nineteenth century proved to be an exciting period of change in orchestral music when new music fashions dictated a return to the sounds of a more expressive and passionate music, which in a previous age had been provided by the human voice. Sax's invention of a brass instrument that had keys and a reed like a clarinet not only allowed for a more expressive instrument, it also meant that the instrument fitted in easily with both brass and woodwind instrumenls. However, the saxophone did not gain widespread acceptance as an orchestral instrument but it was adopted by military bands and before long, its use had spread to to United States army bands. The saxophone was now in an ideal position to be adopted by the new form of music that was about to be unleashed on the world - jazz - and this instrument is perhaps the one most associated with the jazz idiom. The image of a saxophone player, a solitary figure silhouetted by a spotlight that throws a long shadow across the stage, eyes closed in intense concentration, has graced the cover of many a jazz publication. Here are some of the tenor saxophone giants, solitary figures whose long shadows have reached out over jazz music to this very day. Brought to you by TQMP.
