90 minutes ( In french)
Genre: Jazz
The saxophone in jazz history Invented by Adolphe Sax and patented in Paris in March 1846, the saxophone is as much appreciated by jazz musicians as by their colleagues in the world of so-called classical music, even if the qualities required of the instrument are different for each of these styles. In jazz, the saxophone has enabled musicians to express their individuality, which is why the instrument's husky, buzzing tones contribute to the texture of the music. In classical music, the musician usually prefers an instrument with a clear, finely controlled sound, whose precision is akin to that of the clarinet.
With the musical support of a trio led by virtuoso Samuel Blais, equally at home in jazz and classical repertoire, and equally brilliant on saxophones of various registers, writer and music lover Stanley Péan traces the instrument's evolution from Coleman Hawkins to his contemporary disciples, through all the stylistic variations of jazz.
About the speaker
It was the sound of the trumpet that set host and writer Stanley Péan on the path to the blue note as a teenager. Over the years, the Haitian-born Saguenay native's curiosity has developed into a passion, which he shares with ICI Musique.
