Saxophones

“Don’t play the sax. Let it play you.” – Charlie Parker.

The Saxophone (sax), although made of brass, is a woodwind instrument. A person who plays the saxophone is called a saxophonist or saxist. The saxophone was found by Adolphe Sax in the 1840s in Belgium, to create a powerful instrument that could bridge the gap between the woodwind and brass sections of an orchestra.

The sax's versatile nature, its ability to produce a wide range of tones made it popular across musical styles predominantly jazz, also with swing, bebop, blues, rock and roll and even classical. Its use in dance bands and big bands contributed to its development as a prominent solo instrument in jazz.

The modern saxophones, wildly used across the world now are the B♭ and E♭ instruments. Sax at Rhythmic Energy range from highest pitch to the lowest: B♭ soprano, E♭ alto, B♭ tenor, and E♭ baritone.

At rhythmic energy, true to the versatile nature, saxophones play a diverse role. We lift the entire ensemble with embellishments in the form of interludes and typical sax soli. While we do the sax trills, we could surprise you at times with beautiful main tunes and counter melodies, we provide a body to the entire ensemble and impact felt at both bass and treble of the overall arrangement.

Soprano sax: it’s up to you, the only limit is the imagination

Alto sax: Listen to the alto, and you’ll hear a story.

Tenor sax: Life, liberty, and the pursuit of neck strap tan lines

Baritone sax: SAX to the MAX
