Here’s an idea I’ve been thinking about for a while and finally decided to run with. April has been designated ‘Sax Appeal’ month here on RIBS. All month long the RIBS kitchen will be cooking up playlists from the artists that play my favorite instrument: the saxophone.

Invented by Adolphe Sax in 1841, the instrument initially gained popularity in the niche it was designed for: the military band. As a matter of fact, it’s use in orchestral music (another niche Adolphe Sax had hoped for the instrument) was initially shunned. However, as we well know, it has now found a home in all types of music: Orchestral, Jazz, Rock and R&B.

So, the month of April around here is gonna be “sax month”. I hope you are looking forward to some great sax (doesn’t everyone? {smile}) over the next few weeks as you’ll be hearing from folks like:

Grover Washington, Jr
Candy Dulfer
Illinois Jacquet
John Coltrane
David Sanborn
Junior Walker
King Curtis
Sonny Stitt
Euge Groove
Stanley Turrentine

…and a whole host of others, as we present to you…
