The saxophone
The saxophone, its history and development, is discussed. Includes its use in French military bands, to orchestrations by 20th-century Impressionest composers, to American jazz bands. It also looks at the fascinating character of its creator, Adolphe Sax, whose genius is evident in a series of other absurd wind instruments that he dreamed up. Film footage of live jazz performances by the Duke Ellington Band and the World Saxophone Quartet illustrates the instrument's use in that musical genre.
