This week's Three Tune Tuesday takes listeners on a journey through the early days of the saxophone in popular music. We explore three groundbreaking recordings that showcase the instrument's evolution from 1914 to 1919. Beginning with the Six Brown Brothers' vaudeville-inspired rendition of "La Paloma" (1914), we witness the saxophone's initial foray into entertainment. We then move to Rudy Wiedoeft's elegant "Valse Erica" (1916), which demonstrates the instrument's potential for sophisticated expression. Finally, we delve into the Columbia Saxophone Sextet's "All Blues Medley" (1919), showcasing how the saxophone adapted to emerging American musical forms. Through these selections, we trace the saxophone's journey from novelty to necessity, setting the stage for its central role in the jazz age and beyond.
