Hey, I'm 51, music is a big part of my life and I love hearing new things. Among other concerts, I visit few jazz festivals every year so I'm exposed to a lot of different music. But let me tell you, I could easily write similar review for some (most?) jazz sax musicians I heard. It seems that sax encourages players to visit musical areas I don't understand and enjoy. Therefore, if I read a review like this, I would most likely totally believed it!

Jazz music is many things but in its essence it is avant garde. Some of the best music, like all art, can be difficult and challenging. To reveal their beauty and inspiration it may require some effort, but the rewards are worth it! Check out these albums by avant garde saxophonists. You may hate them on first listen but I urge you to persevere and hopefully open your mind and soul to their brilliance. Anthony Braxton's 1970 masterpiece, For Alto, is a landmark of free jazz. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLs9zwqXsceUikMH4R_yWvR62w3-mDXhVb&feature=shared https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLs9zwqXsceUikMH4R_yWvR62w... New History Warfare vol 2: Judges by Colin Stetson, from 2011 is so deep, he created new landscapers of sound with his sax, but it is also sublime and beautiful. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnpQFjefXCROSKaSWDOtHyWEUXJ0B4Yiu&feature=shared https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnpQFjefXCROSKaSWDOtHyWEU... And then for your next homework, check out the massive discography by John Zorn ;-) https://www.allmusic.com/artist/john-zorn-mn0000239329 https://www.allmusic.com/artist/john-zorn-mn0000239329
