[Dixielandjazz] Saxual lore

[Dr. P. De Bruyn]

Lets's not forget that the Saxophone, as an instrument, was and still is one
of the most soffisticated-build instruments of the last century.
It was supposed to make it more easy to play for the musician involved.
That's why I personally keep enyoing this instrument.
One of the other reasons, it was a Belgian instrument builder who invented
it.
Some citizen of a small country realised it to manage to change the world's
music scene.
He laid the basics to some great American music (by saxophone players such
as Charlie Parker, Gerry Mulligan and so many others.......)
