Zitat des Tages über Saxophon / Saxophone:

I wanted to play saxophone, but all I could get were a few squeaks. Stevie Ray Vaughan

I feel I'm most successful when I'm playing a concert, and it doesn't necessarily seem like I'm playing a saxophone but am coming off more like an orchestra or something like that.

Roscoe Mitchell

I worked with a guy, I can't think of his name, him and his wife, and one of them had a saxophone and the other played drums. It wasn't a regular job but I did a few gigs around home with them.

Earl Scruggs

As a horn player, the greatest compliment one can get is when a person comes to you and says, 'I heard this saxophone on the radio the other day and I knew it was you. I don't know the song, but I know it was you on sax.'

Clarence Clemons

Cello is my first instrument, then piano, drums, bass, violin, recorder, saxophone, but I'd never play them live!

Dev Hynes

So I'm looking to the saxophone as a resource which has its own unique set of possibilities. I'm looking to exploit them and develop them and have the fullest range of possibilities of the saxophone be known.

Evan Parker

I wanted an electric train for Christmas but I got the saxophone instead.

Clarence Clemons

I don't know why, but I like the saxophone.

Matt Dillon

Talking about the all night concerts, I did some of the first all night concerts back in the 60's with this little harmonium, and I also had saxophone taped delays.

Terry Riley

I played saxophone and trumpet. Pretty nerdy.

Kesha

If you like an instrument that sings, play the saxophone. At its best it's like the human voice.

Stan Getz

I like to hear melodies that go from one extreme to the next- saxophone to a bell to a whistle, for instance.

Roscoe Mitchell

Charlie Parker is my greatest inspiration as a saxophone player - anything that involves him entails a large amount of respect.

Miguel Zenon

Nobody was playing the soprano saxophone and certainly nobody was trying to do anything with it. So I was all alone. I didn't know that at first.

Steve Lacy

The potential for the saxophone is unlimited.

Steve Lacy

I wanted to play saxophone, but all I could get were a few squeaks.

Stevie Ray Vaughan

I spend a lot of time copying saxophone players and trumpet players. Not to say that it is not important to listen to guitar players, but there's so much music out there and so many possibilities. I like anyone who plays any instrument.

Bill Frisell

You can make a saxophone into an electric organ; you can do everything with it.

Gerry Mulligan

I enjoy playing the band as the band. I 'be' the whole band and I'm playing the drums, I'm playing the guitar, I'm playing the saxophone. To me, the most wonderful thing about playing music is that.

Chick Corea

After I left Texas and went to California, I had a hard time getting anyone to play anything that I was writing, so I had to end up playing them myself. And that's how I ended up just being a saxophone player.

Ornette Coleman

Not what you would call a musical family, but my father used to play saxophone, and I discovered many genres of music when I was a child.

Rokia Traore

I played saxophone, so I was into jazz. I learned from each audience and each teacher that I had. I can't really tell you any rules or anything, but the way I develop my beliefs is really just by personally learning from different situations.

Chad Hugo

The saxophone is a very interesting machine, but I'm more interested in music.

Steve Lacy

Don't play the saxophone. Let it play you.

Charlie Parker

Saxophone is one thing, and music is another.

Steve Lacy

Usually I can hear the pianos, the saxophone, and usually I can hear Ronnie. But I really need to listen to Keith and Mick. The rest of the band is sort of an embellishment to that.

Charlie Watts

I focused on the saxophone ever since high school. It wasn't until my album 'Poetica,' which I recorded in 2006, that I went back to the clarinet. It felt like it was waiting for me!

Anat Cohen

My father is a real idealist, and he's all about learning. If I asked for a pair of Nikes growing up, it was just a resounding 'No.' But if I asked for a saxophone, one would appear and next day and I'd be signed up for lessons. So anything to do with education or learning, my father would spare no expense.

Hugh Jackman

I heard Sidney Bechet play a Duke Ellington piece and fell in love with the soprano saxophone.

Steve Lacy

The tricky part of illness is that, as you go through it, your values are constantly changing... You may decide you want to spend your time working as a neurosurgeon, but two months later, you may want to learn to play the saxophone or devote yourself to the church. Death may be a one-time event, but living with terminal illness is a process.

Paul Kalanithi

I play drums, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, french horn, piano.

I am a frustrated saxophone player. If I could, I would abandon all of my books, and I would trade it all if I could play the way people I admire play.

Actually, when I was in elementary school, I saw a saxophone. A band came to my school, and I saw this guy get up and play this solo. And I said, 'Oh man, what is that! That must be fantastic!'

Ornette Coleman

I understood that if I wanted to work, the saxophone was the main instrument. The clarinet was what we call a double.

Lee Konitz

When I was five years old, my parents gave me a drum set for Christmas. My mom played the piano, and Dad played the saxophone badly. But that Christmas morning, I remember we all played together, and I thought it was the greatest day ever.

Garry Marshall

I remember once, when I started writing for the alto saxophone, a saxophonist told me to think of it as being like a cross between an oboe and a viola, but louder.

Gavin Bryars

The saxophone is an imperfect instrument, especially the tenor and soprano, as far as intonation goes. The challenge is to sing on an imperfect instrument that is outside of your body.

Stan Getz
