Supremely satisfying music for sax section 
and rhythm section by Jerry Dodgion 
Available on CD
and in print! 

"Throughout the big band era the moments 
when the sax section was featured always 
piqued my interest as a truly enjoyable musical 
individuality of musical expression among 
the various composers and arrangers led me 
to a deep appreciation for the interpretive 
saxophonists. The manner in which they would 
together bring the written music to life is a 
beautifully inspiring phenomenon."

"In the real world of democratically enthusiastic 
ensemble playing, where each individual voice is 
equally important, there are in my estimation 
few musical rewards that can compare with 
individuals with a loving unity of purpose through 
sensitive melodic and rhythmic interpretation, striving together to meet the challenge of bringing beautiful music to life"
-Jerry Dodgion-
