Saxophone



Another program in the podcast blog Farofa the Gateway to the Modern MTV. This program deals with the saxophone family which is the second focusing on one instrument: the previous program I presented the powerful sound and phrasing of the trumpet in sonzeira six trumpeters, and this program also will present six saxophonists and four types of saxophones ( alto sax, tenor sax, soprano sax and baritone sax), making a link between past and present, on the rich sound of the tenor of Sonny Rollins, in the 50's, and approaching the contemporary jazz of Joshua Redman, in the 21st century .


It is known that if the trumpet is an instrument for determining trajectory and acute and powerful sound, the saxophone is a very expressive and dynamic: there was a saxophonist in the 40s and 50 as Charlie Parker and Sonny Stitt, for example, that led the crowd of jazz clubs to their feet with agile riffs and intricate, while others like Lester Young and Paul Desmond were able to make the crowd cry the expressiveness and melodic sound "cool" and soft. In fact many of the saxophonists were responsible for crucial changes in this musical genre called jazz. Access http://farofamoderna.mypodcast.com/rss.xml and give!
