OpenSax – the title of this collection should appeal to all saxophonists who seek to explore new directions while keeping an eye on the current musical scene. Claude Georgel director of the Vent de Sax collection took advantage of a festive occasion – the 17th World Saxophone Congress and Festival in July 2015 – to ask nine composers from very different backgrounds to write pieces either joyful or poetic. The idea was to allow instrumentalists (starting year two of Alto Saxophone study) to explore a variety of artistic and technical worlds guided by the pure joy of playing. It’s a thrilling adventure: British composer JohnHarle draws on the Sanskrit symbol Yantra to weave magical connections between soloist and electroacoustics. Sophie Lacaze turns young saxophonists into Oriental storytellers as they celebrate through deft plays on keys the thousand shards of La Lune dans l’Eau. Vincent-Raphaël Carinola takes musicians into the dreamlike mechanism of the Montre molle so dear to Dali. In Sunny groove Claude Barthélémy offers those who thrill to jazz the pleasure of slipping into the skin of the legendary Sonny Rollins. Annette Mengel gives her Vol au Vent the appearance of a fragile haiku while Clara Olivares the composer of L’Envol transforms what could have been a banal study of the various types of vibrato into a hymn for freedom – that of the performer for example to whom she gives great importance. Claude Georgel’s Du Tac au Tac! conjures an amusing world to which a “very free questioning” rubato brings a simply irresistible sway. In Gamaphone for Saxophone and electroacoustics Philippe Gleiss throws a bridge between jazz and funk by plunging the musician into the sensual delights of rhythm. Xavier Rosselle brings the electroacoustic accompaniment of Main gauche Main droite et Clac a granular quality that emphasizes the music’s sobriety. From the nine stops that compose this journey springs an intoxicating taste of freedom. - Claude BarthélemySonny’s groove

The imprint left by John Coltrane upon the sound and vocabulary of Jazz is yet be surpassed. Growing out of Bebop Coltrane along with collaborators and mentors such as Thelonious Monk and Miles Davis moved to simplify the unnecessary complexities of Jazz leading to the birth of the Cool style. Coltrane himself continued to further expand the vocabulary and tonal/atonal range of his playing moving into increasingly experimental tonalities and sounds. Giant Steps catches the innovator at the height of his power and is rightfully regarded as one of the most influential jazz albums of all time paving the route for Ornette Colman and the free-improvisationartists of today.The album is presented here in note-for-note transcription.

Being Caprices all Bozza's studies are lively short and free from form making for a unique and essential aid in the progression of advanced Saxophone studies.

Pour Saxophone Ténor (ou Soprano) et dispositif électroacoustique-Balafon the first of Christian Lauba’s Neuf ?tudes for Saxophone is an “African song” that uses the ancient technique of circular breathing. This soloist work - splendidly performed in the album “Hard” by Richard Ducros one of the greatest interpreters of Lauba’s works for saxophone – was expanded and transformed with the composer’s approval by saxophonist Philippe Geiss into a piece for Saxophone (tenor or soprano) and electronics under the title Blue Balafon. The arrangement calls for “free articulation in a ‘jazz legato’ spirit” makingthe use of circular breathing optional in order to favour the piece’s incredible energy. The score comes with a CD that includes a complete version of the work performed on Saxophone by Philippe Geiss as well as an electroacoustic accompaniment isolat?ed for playback. This eclectic musical adventure proves itself both stimulating for the mind and invigorating for the senses.
