Featuring the music of Jakob Bro
Duration: 05:56

All About Jazz writer Robert Middleton has published a thoroughly researched and affectionate article entitled Saxophone Meets Guitar: The Dynamic Duo of Jazz In addition to his playlist of 463 inspiring songs from the genre, consider also "Song to an Old Friend" by Danish guitarist Jakob Bro with legendary tenor saxophonist Joe Lovano.
