NASA 2018 Conference

NTQ returns to the North American Saxophone Alliance biennial conference to present a performance of our recent commissioned work: Flux Candrix by Taylor Brook. The piece toys with the history of the saxophone, an instrument invented by Adolphe Sax in Belgium, first gaining widespread adoration through American Jazz and Swing music in the first half of the 20th century. Brook explores the oddity of early European jazz and what was lost and gained in its appropriation and voyage over the Atlantic.
