Solo saxophone

The genre of solo saxophone has a rich, but largely unmapped history in contemporary music, particularly jazz.[1] Many, but not all, musicians who play and record solo saxophone use extended techniques, a vocabulary of the saxophone beyond its normal range. Notable musicians in this field include Kaoru Abe, Anthony Braxton, Peter Brötzmann, John Butcher, Don Dietrich, Eric Dolphy, Brandon Evans, Paul Flaherty, Mats Gustafsson, Coleman Hawkins, Lee Konitz, Steve Lacy, Roscoe Mitchell, Evan Parker, Sonny Rollins, Sam Newsome, Ned Rothenberg, Masayoshi Urabe, Ken Vandermark, Colin Stetson, Jonah Parzen-Johnson and Andre Vida, Gianni Gebbia.

gollark: Maybe the ATL license but with a "NO WARRANTY WHATSOEVER" bit.
gollark: I'm now imagining having a bunch of highly-paid corporate lawyers trying to figure out exactly what circumstances they can use some software in based on the day of the week.
gollark: Good idea! It could switch between them.
gollark: Hmm, maybe I could have something where the applicable set of licenses is deterministically chosen based on the current date or something.
gollark: Ah yes, of course.
