ByClick the play button to listen
Possibly, more than any other instrument, the saxophone defines the sound of jazz. Most jazz combos have at least one saxophonist on the frontand when you see that saxophone, you know it's going to be doing a LOT of soloing, even if the bandleader or composer plays another instrument.
