Saxofon gitarr låt
Jazz is not just a genre—it is a universe with galaxies of swing, bebop, hard bop, and free jazz. Guitarist, Grant Green, for instance, never (to my knowledge) recorded a straight sax-guitar quartet. Terje Rypdal, Ralph Towner, Mick Goodrick, Bill Connors, John Abercrombie, Pat Methenyand Bill Frisellrecorded several electrifying, and often other-worldly sax-guitar albums for ECM.
They include The Esoteric Circle, Afric Pepperbird, Solstice, Of Mist and Melting, In Pas(s)ing, 80/81, Eventyr, Paths, Prints, Wayfarerand It's OK to Listen to the Grey Voice.
In a world overflowing with jazz, these sax-guitar albums offer something almost magical—a sense of adventure, a bold step into uncharted territory, where every track feels like a new discovery.
Emerging saxophonists Dayna Stephens, and Amanda Gardierhave recently put out some of the finest albums of the genre including Closer Than We Think, and Auteur, inspired by the movies of Wes Anderson.
Uncommon yet consistently electrifying, these albums groove, sing, and resonate with joy.
You would think sax-guitar combo albums would be very common, but you would be wrong.
They shimmer, sizzle and soar.

These sax-guitar albums comprised a very small percentage of the albums released by ECM in those early years, but they stood out as sonic beacons for our ears and minds. The famous Midnight Blue(1963) by Kenny Burrellfeatured Stanley Turrentineon grooving, sinuous saxophone. Their next album, Complex Emotions, is set to drop the Friday after the 2024 presidential election, just in time for a weekend of celebration (We hope!).
