Duncan says that the album "sounds like a nostalgic big band on laughing gas." Another music critic Ian Koss said that the "music on Sax Pax for a Sax is bold assertive-even at its most demure the saxophone can't help its brassy nature-powerful without losing grace." He also explains "Increasingly larger groups of saxophones interplay in melodies that weave through kettledrum pillars in a way that is equal parts Philip Glass and Paul McCartney." 〔(【引用サイトリンク】first1=Ian )〕 A review by John Murph for "JazzTimes" said "A stargazing composer, Moondog's penchant for crafting accessible, yet utterly otherworldly melodies bridges European classical forms with American jazz sensibilities." 〔(【引用サイトリンク】first1=John )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sax Pax for a Sax」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
