Jacob Chung - The Sage (2024) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

Going to saxophone shops is a necessary evil of being a saxophonist. I don’t like doing it, or to be more specific I don’t like doing it when there are other saxophone players there. Going to a saxophone shop in New York City promises to be an adventure, especially when it’s one of the more popular ones like JL Woodwinds. The few times I have been in there, there have always been a plethora of horn players playing as fast and as loud as they can. In addition they’re usually playing some completely complicated pattern. It is as if they’re saying “look at me, look at how incredible I am.” I find it off putting to say the least. On one particular day a few years ago I made my way up to the second floor of JL Woodwinds and as I walked in I heard this incredible sound coming from a tenor saxophone. It struck me immediately. The horn was being put through its paces, he was playing loudly and was playing fast but there was something just a little bit different.
