Saxophone is one thing, and music is another.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The saxophone is a very interesting machine, but I'm more interested in music.
The other saxophones, except as solo instruments, really don't have much point in the orchestra.
I understood that if I wanted to work, the saxophone was the main instrument. The clarinet was what we call a double.
I don't know why, but I like the saxophone.
Play difficult and interesting things. If you play boring things, you risk losing your appetite. Saxophone can be tedious with too much of the same.
Music and the music business are two different things.
Don't play the saxophone. Let it play you.
You can work on the saxophone alone, but ultimately you must perform with others.
Now, the instrumentation in the jazz band and the jazz dance band has gone through many evolutions. For instance, in the 'twenties the tradition was two or three saxophones.
You can make a saxophone into an electric organ; you can do everything with it.
