Saxophobia
offers a rare and unique glimpse at some
of the most unusual saxophones ever manufactured,
and at the classic melodies associated with this
extraordinary musical instrument. Set in a jazzcombo
format, Saxophobia pays tribute to some of the great
jazz legends who popularized the instrument and contributed
to the development of America’s indigenous art form.
Saxophobia brings to the stage a
“Who’s Who” of sax gone wild! Audience members
will see and hear a sopranino—the smallest saxophone
in the world; a mammoth six-and-one-half-foot
contrabass sax; and virtually everything in between. |
