Adolphe'S AX

Chicago, IL 60624
11am
Sax-o-phun
A man named Adolphe Sax changed the world of music forever when he invented an instrument and gave it his name - the Saxophone. No one had ever heard anything like it before. Now, one hundred and fifty years later, the saxophone is one of the most popular instruments in the world. Find out why with Adolphe’S AX, Cameron Pfiffner’s saxophone ensemble. The saxophone can cry, laugh, whine, roar, sing, grunt, whisper, moan and shout-it expresses feelings that are too big for words; feelings that everyone can understand, no matter what language they speak or where they come from. Some of Chicago’s finest saxophonists, including Anthony Bruno, Juli Wood, Nate LePine, Caroline Davis and Mark Heibert, will show you just how incredibly versatile and powerful an instrument Adolphe Sax invented all those years ago, and why people still play it and love it today.

The David Boykin Expanse is an authentic Chicago South Side jazz ensemble for modern times. They possess exceptional individual instrumental virtuosity and emote the deepest feelings. The group’s size has varied but its current core consisting of flutist Nicole Mitchell, bassist Josh Abrams, pianist Jim Baker, and composer, saxophonist and leader David Boykin have been performing together for about 8 years. Drummer Marcus Evans has joined them for the past two years.
With this lineup Boykin has recently added the infusion own hip hop style rhyming into the music without sacrificing the core elements of each. These core elements being the rhythmic complexity, (especially swing feel), of jazz; the harmonic complexity of jazz; and the use of multi-syllabic words, varied rhyme scheme, alliteration, metaphor, and other poetic devices common to some styles of hip hop lyricism.
