Hi Lance, I didn't catch Joe Lovano at the Sage, I was down in London that weekend. Really bad timing, I know. So instead of having a jazz free weekend I booked into Ronnie Scotts on Friday.
I was more than a bit surprised to find that the band was, you guessed it, Joe and Us 5! He played a great gig and the cosier surroundings of the club the interaction between Joe and the drummers was intense.
Just a little correction, if you don't mind. I had a good view of Joe and he wasn't playing a clarinet. It was made of wood and had clarinet keywork, but it was conical like a saxophone not cylindrical which a clarinet would be. The sound of it was altogether a more exotic mix of sax and stick. According to Joe's website, it's called an Aulochrome - a polyphonic saxophone and apparrently the next generation in woodwind. Call me old-fashioned but , though I was intrigued by the sound, I think I'll stick with my usual saxes and clarinet.
Jeff Smith
Thanks Jeff - I was sitting way back in the hall and couldn't work out what it was. From a distance it looked like a clarinet - I thought maybe it was a metal clarinet however, now I know - an Aulochrome!Thanks again
