Haven't listened to the whole thing yet but sounds quite intriguing so far. Thanks to FReeper Chode for the tip.

That’s why a stopped watching Saturday Night Live, there was too much sax on the telly.

That is some very good stuff, they are 1960s good.

I was most interested in the way they worked with the performance space. Seems the French have a knack for that; witness just about every concert by Jarre.

That’s the whole problem with society today- there’s far too much sax & violins in the media.

You don’t have one of women playing trombones do you?
A brassy blonde trombonist playing “Hold That Tiger”?

Have to admit I’ve never seen anything like that - my saxophone preferences run from Coltrane to Shorter, Stan Getz, Sonny Rollins. Used to have a bumper sticker on my 49 Chevy that said “Live Music is Best”. It came with the truck.
