I have long had a passion for the sound of the Sax, and wish I had the skill to play it. I am doomed to be an appreciative audience. I heard a track from this album on Jamie Cullum's Radio 2 programme and fell in love. The album is just superb - The sax is played with great skill and verve, full of delightful tunes to lift the heart and keep the toes tapping, just edgey enough to attract afficianados of mainstream jazz and not at all arty-farty. It will leave you wanting more and I guarantee you will return to it again and again as a firm favorite.

Sax Choir Arrives
29 Aug 2005
Format:Audio CD
I grew up loving Boots Randolph, Ace Cannon, King Curtis, and Johnny and the Hurricanes. I was browsing through the net looking for something on Simon Haram(a well known current European classical Saxophonist) and stumbled on this Album. I have never heard anything like this. Its my music find of the year (I am an iPod addict). This is a Sax dectet (1 Sopranio, 2 Soprano, 2 Altos, 2 Tenors, 2 Baritones and Basses) and then they throw in drums, piano, and bass guitar. My ears feel massaged with sound. I will only quote some review from the net:"The dectet of saxophones plus piano and bass guitar that is London Saxophonic is staggering... sounded like an Arvo Pärt choir jamming with the Bulgarian National Assembly of Throat Singers, yes it was that good." The Independent -- Believe this!!

Great soothing exciting trip.

Some of these tunes surprise me every time I listen to them. You can hum them in your mind. You can drive while listening hard -- try to pay attention to the road! Turn it up loud, then listen to it soft -- it will sound good both ways. Your dinner guests will ask what they are listening to, and you can recommend this disk, just as I recommend this to you.

yes, oh yes, moondog is the best
28 Aug 2002
Format:Audio CD
this music was already in my head before I heard it. blocks of chords ascending and exploding in fugal fireworks, plus evocations of an imaginary jungle-jive Paris love affair. unbelievably soulful, funny, charming, surprising. you like moondog! you like moondog! buy moondog!
