The joy of sax! The Audio Ecotone for June 27, 2025

Fri, 06/27/2025 - 4:56pm | Eddy Owt

Harry_Gold_contrabass_sax_1996.jpg

On June 28, 1846, Belgian musician and inventor Adophe Sax was granted a patent for his new instrument called the saxophone. The horn was designed to project as well as a brass instrument, while retaining the harmonic feeling of a woodwind. While the horn gained some adoption in the military, ragtime and vaudville bands, it wasn't until the 1920s jazz boom that the foundation for the sax's place in popular music was established.

On the eve of the 179th anniversary of Sax's patent, The Audio Ecotone celebrates the saxophone with a wide-ranging selection of music from Charlie Parker, Albert Ayler, Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, Moon Hooch and a whole host of others.

(Sorry, no Yakety Sax on the playlist.)

Listen live at 3 p.m. Friday on 95.7 FM in Davis or kdrt.org. The show repeats Saturday at 6 p.m. and Tuesday at 7 a.m.
