Throughout the history of jazz, the tenor saxophone has remained in the forefront of the sounds and styles which have influenced and shaped the music. From Colemand Hawkins and Lester Young, to Dexter Gordon, John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Wayne Shorter and Michael Brecker, these definitive exponents (and others) have not only shaped the sound of the instrument, but have been essential to what jazz has become. This concert presents both original compositions and standard jazz repertoire to celebrate the past and present sounds of the tenor saxophone in jazz.
