Book
The story of the saxophone / by Lesa Cline-Ransome ; illustrated by James E. Ransome.
Brassy, smoky, and melodious. To most poeple the saxophone brings to mind jazz. But the story of the saxophone didn't begin on a street corner in New Orleans. It all started in 1814 in Belgium with a young boy named Joseph-Antoine Adolphe Sax - a boy prone to daydreaming and determined to create the musical instrument of his dreams. This book unravels the fascinating history of how Adolphe's once reviled instrument was transported across Europe and Mexico and then to New Orleans to become the iconic symbol of jazz music that it is today.
