PLAYLIST for APRIL 9, 2008

THE JOY OF SAX: Over twenty saxophonists packed into a dozen recent releases. We move progressively from the trio with one sax to the quartet with one sax, to the quartet with two saxes and the saxophone quartet. Followed by the quintet, the septet, the dozen and ending with the fourteen-piece Transatlantic Art Ensemble. A lot of great blowing!
