About the Episode

War, what is it good for? The Saxophone apparently. Beyond the triumphant marches of the militaristic minded, the saxophone became well known in big band music, blues and jazz and soul and rhythm and blues which gave way to good ol’ rock and roll music. IN fact before the guitar took over, it was the sax that got all the solos. With their smooth and brassy tones and their unique blend of power, finesse and versatility – what an instrument to create a mood and convey emotional context and help tell a story within a song.
