About
Among Modern Jazz greats, Paul Desmond (1924 - 1977) had one of the most characteristic sounds on the alto saxophone. His clear, radiant, yet warm tone paired with a pronounced melodic lyricism led Desmond himself to compare it to a dry Martini. Born as Paul Emil Breitenfeld in San Francisco, California, he became world famous as a member of the Dave Brubeck Quartet, whose biggest hit “Take Five” he composed.
The two musicians agreed that Desmond would only form “piano-less” groups for his solo projects, and so Desmond’s successful studio collaboration with guitarist Jim Hall, as well as another musically outstanding quartet with the baritone saxophonist Gerry Mulligan came to be.
