Here's are two masters of extended techniques on the soprano. Lol Coxhill (on the left) who has a slower, more patient style, while John Butcher (on the right) is little more in you face. They compliment each other very well. I find it fascinating that two players can be totally in their own worlds, but yet, totally together.
I often go to these guys when I'm looking for some cool, new sounds!
This blog is a space for sharing my reflections on music, creativity, life, and politics—a way to connect with fellow saxophonists, musicians, and thoughtful explorers of life. Join me as we delve into the art of sound, the nuances of expression, and the broader world around us.
