"A remarkable line-up of jazz saxophone players and music is at the heart of this study. Color photos and essays show how jazz sax music has been sculpted in the hands of Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Branford Marsalis, Michael Brecker, and other legendary innovators." "Written by world-class jazz authorities, the book illustrates the saxophone's role in varying jazz styles from the 1920s through today. It profiles the influential saxophonists who have helped redefine jazz over the years, including Sonny Rollins, Ornette Coleman, Roland Kirk, Joshua Redman, and many more. This well-rounded portrait describes the sax in the avant-garde and fusion movements as well, and provides a guide to history's finest recordings featuring jazz saxophone."--Jacket.… (more)
