On this musical voyage, James Rae leads the saxophonist from the Baroque era to the present day. His arrangements of well-known titles such as Bach's 'Minuet in G', Purcell's 'Air', Saint-Saëns 'The Swan' or Duke Ellington's 'Sophisticated Lady' illustrate the wide range of styles available to saxophonists. A brilliant collection which is both educational and thoroughly enjoyable.
