For anyone who hasn't been past their local newstand lately, the current (Sept/Oct 04) Saxophone Journal features two articles by Jay Easton: a great article on playing the bari (how about a follow-up article on reaching altissimo on the bari?), and an interview with Rob Verdi. I wasn't familiar with Rob before, but he's pictured with a collection ranging from curved Eb sopranino down to Eb contrabass sax (also including contrabass sarrusophone, Conn-O-Sax, padless altos, etc.).

Worth the magazine just for Jay's articles.

Enjoy!

Grant

We knew that Blaise owned an Eb tubax.  Does he also have an Eb contrabass sax?

Hello,
  Yes he has the Orsi Contrabass!  :o)  The concert was really cool! He opened "Blister in the Sun"~ Acapella on the Contra~ the crowd went wild, a couple of thousand screaming Gothic Punk~ fans of all ages!  He is playing with the Violent Femmes tonight at The House of Blues in Anaheim.  We'll send pix soon!  There will also be clips on VH1~ I'll send the info when we get it~ A Contra at a Rock Concert!!!  :o)
