Ausgabe: CD / CD
Reihe: Saxology

Saxology was originally formed in 1980, when the saxophone and rhythm sections of the top Eastman Jazz Ensemble got together to play the published repertoire of the professional jazz group Supersax. With a dedication toward finding new and interesting ways for the saxophone section to play together, Saxology has grown into an ensemble with its own unique identity and repertoire. Many of the arrangements and compositions are written by Ramon Ricker and other members of the band, and its ?book? now ranges from swing to fusion, with an ample portion of ?bebop? in between.Since its beginning the group has received wide-spread acclaim including awards in 1981 and 1987 from Downbeat Magazine for the Best College Instrumental Jazz Group.
