"It transports us into fantasy I think (Gunne Sax) takes you on a fantastic voyage and we’ve given you the permission to be any of them.” Gunne Sax was founded in San Francisco in 1967 by two home sewers and was purchased by Jessica McClintock in 1969 the previously defunct label has been traded voraciously online by super fans of these statement dresses Gunne Sacks and ModCloth revived the label in a collaboration that was very well-received This second collaboration has been a year in the making winner of the ModCloth x Gunne Sax contest models details from a dress from the new .. More collection she wore at the San Francisco preview event in March In attendance at the San Francisco event was Gunne Sax superfan, Melissa Leon Leon was one of 4,000 entries in a contest for a chance to be flown out to San Francisco to be professionally photographed in the new collection and attend the tea party “There is an entire community of fans of especially 1970s Gunne Sax dresses They post photos of themselves in them online for other collectors to see You become friends online with people through this shared passion I’ve made a lot of good friends this way." She says that her initial interest in Gunne Sax was sparked during COVID Leon says she’s one of many who flocked to vintage style to escape the doldrum which put me in a better place financially to finally buy some vintage dresses I had always been drawn toward vintage fashion That led me to discovering Gunne Sax dresses I saw one design after another after another I began really gravitating toward the colorful calico ones.” “They’re just whimsical and nostalgic and romantic," says Leon "You feel like the main character in them and they definitely get attention when you’re out in one Something about that feels like I’m stretching myself in a way They’re just also a fun way to express yourself.” Leon says her interest in Gunne Sax is “half hobby half addiction.” Leon says they’re unlike anything she feels she can find in a store today It’s not just the uniqueness of the designs She shares that it’s the feelings of nostalgia and romance they evoke as well as the high quality of the garments “I think we all kind of like a little bit of a costume from time to time," says Mary Santaro to the fact that Gunne Sax were made with cotton fabrics Cotton uniquely connects the brand to California and the hippie culture that played a pivotal moment in women’s fashion history in the late 1960s and early 1970s “California became the center of anything that was new different and fashion forward,” shares Santaro there was a new kind of shop called a boutique Most disposable income in clothing was coming from the junior customer Fashion prior to that was all very synthetic fabric Then all of a sudden this group of people from California were wearing cotton There was a freedom that was opening up at that time Bell sleeve detail on one of the new Gunne Sax dresses available through the ModCloth collaboration Santaro remarked that one of the most important things about modernizing Gunne Sax for their collaboration with ModCloth now was making the line more size inclusive Bringing the line forward was to extend the sizes for the more modern woman That we’re contributing to an environment of inclusivity feels really important to me,” concluded Santaro Podcast inventory will be added to Spotify’s recently launched Ad Exchange (Sax) this quarter associate director of product marketing Savanna Ramsey revealed at Spotify’s Sparks event in London on Thursday which allow advertisers to create scripts and voiceovers within Spotify’s Ads Manager The streaming giant is “actively incorporating” UK accents into the tool Sax launched last month with only music inventory. In an interview with The Media Leader UK and Northern Europe head of sales Ed Couchman said podcast inventory would be added to the platform “imminently” but declined to reveal a time frame Generative-AI ads have already been available to the US and Canadian markets “We know it wasn’t always easy to buy across Spotify,” said Ramsey “That’s why we’ve been hard at work modernising and streamlining our adtech to make it easier for you to buy.” She suggested that the platform is “evolving” to “think auction-based first and foremost” as it leans in to programmatic and seeks to deliver “outcome-based audio at your fingertips” Couchman earlier described efforts to launch Sax and generative-AI ads as an attempt to “move down the funnel into performance” and appeal to more small and medium-sized businesses particularly digital-native direct-to-consumer brands “What this does is enable us to open up to many many multiples of those advertisers — importantly Sax solo: Spotify launches own ad exchange In its Q1 earnings released this week Spotify said it added 5m premium subscribers year on year to reach 268m The company also reported a record-high quarterly operating income of €509m It was Spotify’s fifth consecutive quarter of profitability said Spotify has reinvested its profits primarily back into its free tier “with our ad stack He noted that Spotify “is becoming more visual” with a greater emphasis on streaming music videos and video podcasts opening up new opportunities for advertisers through new visual formats This has led to greater attentive use of the app with Berner adding that there has been a 36% increase in “time spent in-focus “We are creating more opportunities and more moments to reach an engaged audience that’s paying attention,” he continued we’re becoming more essential for brands.” 90% of whom Spotify claims have indicated the app is “essential to their daily life” “The feedback that we’ve gotten from our consumers is that the content on Spotify is nutrition Basically what they’re telling us is: you come to Spotify to feel good,” he continued “It’s not that you’re in an environment where you’re doomscrolling or in polarising discourse content Nobody’s ever needed to take a break from Spotify.” The attempted positioning of Spotify as a more positive platform comes years after it received backlash from musical artists for its support of controversial podcaster Joe Rogan vaccine scepticism and more recent promotion of US President Donald Trump have contributed to political and cultural polarisation Apart from Rogan, Spotify’s top podcasters last year included Alex Cooper (Call Her Daddy) and Theo Von (This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von), the latter of whom has been described by The New York Times as “one

Jacksonville on May 2 who has sold over 75 million albums worldwide and owns the best-selling instrumental record of all time with his 1992 12x platinum album “Breathless,” will be performing at Jacksonville’s Florida Theatre on May 7 News4JAX spoke with the iconic musician about the show his career and a few moments of his life that helped shape his success with a saxophone “You watch us play and you will see six guys on stage that I’ve been playing their instruments for 50 years,” Kenny G said What a person can do when they work on something for 50 years.” He talked about how he and everyone he performs with approach each gig including the one coming up in downtown Jacksonville “Our conversation is every single time we play and we are playing at Carnegie Hall,” Kenny G said “Even if we are playing at a high school for some kids or doing something it is as if we are at Carnegie Hall and our career depends on that performance Kenny G says he is so thankful people like his music He says his love for music and developing his own talent mean a lot to him but I am not doing it for that reason,” he said I want everybody to think that I am the greatest But I do not play my sax so that people will think that I am the greatest When I play a song that means something to me Kenny G says he started playing the saxophone when he was 10 years old after being inspired from watching a Big Band featured on The Ed Sullivan Show It was a once in a lifetime opportunity he had when he was 17 years old that he says helped him realize he could do something special with music I got to play with Barry White professionally,” Kenny G said I think you are good enough to be a professional musician Things really took off for him when he signed with Aritsa Records in 1982 That is the major record label the legendary Clive Davis founded in 1974 Arista Records launched the careers of superstars including the late greats Whitney Houston and Aretha Franklin Kenny G told News4JAX that working with Davis and Aritsa Records changed his trajectory when it was a struggle to get radio stations to promote instrumental artists myself and some guys from Arista records,” he said “We went from city to city like knocking on the door of these radio stations and going like We’ll try it.’ Then they would put it on and all of a sudden they would get a bunch of phone calls Thanks to the musical lines and runs he has perfected over the many decades of playing which is something he does not take for granted “The late great David Sanborn and I we’re having a conversation on the telephone once David Sanborn has a very distinct alto saxophone style,” he said anybody when they hear you play they know it is you.’ He goes That’s just what happened the second I started playing the sax.’ I said I did not even try to make up a style.’ You get lucky like that Sometimes you find the thing that you were meant to do and sometimes you just get lucky that when you do it you do it in a way that is different than everybody else has done it and people like it My style could be something that the world would be like ‘Wow he sounds different from everybody else Kenny G’s show at Florida Theatre is set for 8 p.m It is a part of a short tour that includes stops in Orlando Tickets can be found here, and News4JAX’s full interview with Kenny G can be watched below.

March 3Portland's all-women sax quartet The band will perform the music of the eccentric artist Moondog at the Alberta Rose Theater on Friday The Quadraphonnes, Portland’s all-women sax quartet, will perform the music of the eccentric artist Moondog at the Alberta Rose Theater on March 7. Moondog was a blind street musician in New York City who worked with some of the biggest names in music in the mid-20th century We’ll hear more about the show and get an in-studio performance from the quartet: Mieke Bruggeman on baritone saxophone Note: The following transcript was transcribed digitally and validated for accuracy readability and formatting by an OPB volunteer Dave Miller: This is Think Out Loud on OPB The Quadraphonnes are Portland’s all-women sax quartet They’ll be performing the music of the eccentric artist Moondog at the Alberta Rose Theater this Friday evening Moondog was a blind street musician in New York City who worked or crossed paths with some of the biggest names in music in the mid-20th century The Quadraphonnes join us now for a preview of their Friday show Miller: Could you start us off with a song Bruggeman: We’re gonna hear just the four of us playing “Just the Two of Us.” Mary-Sue Tobin: And this is in honor of Lundi Gras because it’s a transcription off of a New Orleans brass band Miller: That’s the Monday before Mardi Gras playing “Just the Two of Us” – although all four of them were playing it How did you all choose saxophones as your instruments what is it about the saxophone that drew you in Miller: Because there was more sax in pop songs then and I told my parents … it was like third grade So I played violin for a year and then finally Miller: And was it as good as you thought it would be Tobin: I had played piano since I was a little girl Then they stuck me on oboe in junior high because my brother had left one and I wanted to be in the band “Why don’t you play saxophone?” Same as Michelle I’ve always heard that double reeds are just really hard they were trying to make me make oboe reeds and stuff like that Miller: You’re supposed to make your own reeds Chelsea Luker: I should probably give credit to a local musician He used to play with Johnny Limbo and the Lugnuts he had this shtick where he would wear a long trench coat and black sunglasses and have a lamp light hanging over him Bruggeman: I give credit to both my sister and my grandfather and then when it got time to be in the band and she joined an all-female punk band called P.M.S so she brought it home and she let me honk on it just so we can get a sense individually for where you each are in the saxophone world Miller: Then we’ve got the alto next for Chelsea Luker Tobin: Mieke and Chelsea had gone to college in Miami and Arizona Tobin: And you only get to play quartet a lot in college cause you’re with your pals and you’re playing saxophone music; but then in the outside world there’s not a huge demand for sax quartets it’s a small community,” the saxophone world And they said “You two should look up some other players in Portland and if you want to do an all-female thing I was a professional playing in town in bands and they came to my gig who are these people that are sitting here with the whole song … and then they came up and said “Would you like to be in a sax quartet with us?” And I said we’ll need a fourth,” and I had gone to PSU with Michelle we were two of the very few female jazz majors at PSU at the time I immediately thought of Michelle … and we’ve been together ever since Miller: And you said that it used to be that it was more common for there to be saxophone quartets if it’s not the most popular assembly of musicians because we started out kind of playing classical music A lot of times that’s string quartets that have been arranged for saxophone quartet but there are quite a few pieces that are written for us specifically and then we said “We’d like to play out more let’s play jazz.” And we started playing in some more jazz venues so let’s add a rhythm section.” We added a bass player and a drummer Then we added a guitar player and that got even more crazy we’ve slowly kind of come back to the quartet So it’s been an evolution and we just try to go with the flow Bruggeman: Moondog was a poet and a composer And he largely lived on the streets of New York He was known as the “Viking of 6th Avenue,” because he donned a Viking helmet and a spear “So many people kept referring to me as Jesus,” because he had a really long beard and just to shirk that and poke fun at that he was a big fan of Nordic culture and mythology And also this really interesting combination of both a classical sound or approach one of his primary and “favoritest” music forms is the canon and then you have a second voice come in after that He was very strict about this compositional style of composing But then he would add more … maybe swung eighth notes or a little bit of more of the jazz influence He was also highly influenced by Indigenous American drumming They would travel around and end up on various reservations He got to sit on the lap of some of the Indigenous Americans while they were doing their drum circles this sort of heartbeat going all throughout all of the compositions Miller: Can you give us a taste for one of his songs you’re gonna be playing on Friday Bruggeman: We’re doing a quartet version of his tune Miller: That is “Bird’s Lament,” originally from the album “Sax Pax for a Sax,” by the artist Moondog We heard it performed by the Portland-based Quadraphonnes “It sounded like a nostalgic big band on laughing gas.” [Laughter] What was the idea behind “Sax Pax for a Sax?” This is this album you’re going to be performing in its entirety with a bunch of other people on Friday including bass saxophone and contrabass saxophone “Sax Packs for a Sax,” there’s two elements to it The first is the word “Pax,” which is his play on words of peace as well as a wolf pack and how they travel in different numbers So you won’t hear all 11 saxophones playing every single song There’s going to be some variety with how many of the saxophones are playing in any given piece that we’re performing when the saxophone was invented in the mid-1840s tried to get it into the mainstream was to introduce it into military bands Moondog wanted to take a different take at the saxophone and present the instrument as an instrument for peace each of you with three other saxophone players in this quartet What’s it like to have 11 of you all playing at once including an even lower voice than the baritone Bruggeman: I think I can speak for all saxophonists in that low is a really incredible feeling to be in that room Miller: There’s something about that song … and that came out in 1969 The album actually was recorded in the early 1990s but then it wasn’t released till the mid-1990s And then he passed away a couple years later it sounds still very fresh today and it sounds like it’s a classic remixed by a German composer who did deep electronic and classical cuts And he did a remix of that tune that we played “Bird’s Lament.” So you’ll often hear it in coffee shops or hipster bars Tobin: It’s also in a lot of British shows and British advertisements and you look for “Bird’s Lament,” they’ll be like “Where have I heard that song before?” Maybe in an Australian commercial But a lot of that is due to this remix that this German deep-mix guy did to it what does it take for a group to stay together for 20 years communicating with each other – and we love each other it’s been such a cool journey being ladies together in a group This was the first time I was in an all-female band I never thought much about the idea of it being that It’s so nice to have that camaraderie together being in an ensemble with only other fellow women It wasn’t really something we set out to do It’s just that I had a mutual friend with Mieke Miller: Can we hear one more song that you can take us out on this tune is entitled “Jocasta,” and it’s by one of our favorite local composers Miller: I just want to thank you all very much Miller: The Quadraphonnes are a Portland-based saxophone quartet Mary-Sue Tobin on soprano and Mieke Bruggeman on baritone

tracing lineage through Russia back all the way to that most cherished lore of a wandering people; still surviving not through remembrance or stories passed down looking for something that connects us all—looking for something to give them a parting hope Their end is always only a few pages away—but rather Ezra searches for a final answer to how we all might survive the flame’s encroachment It’s no accident that Ezra’s self-immolation occurs in the middle of a march—the kind of cycling wandering protest that we’ve grown accustomed to in these recent years The demonstration is described as occurring outside of one of “the President’s towers,” though it otherwise remains unnamed and aimless While Yr Dead reads most immediately as an existential treatise on family it is also deeply concerned with the politics of today; or rather we parse through their pulsing observations of Instagram dispatches collecting likes for particularly clever slogans markered onto poster-boards And there is a clairvoyant foresight that Ezra is able to practice for a moment lunging ahead to face the online commentary regarding their fatalist demonstration and still we understand very little of what has led these people to rally This is where Ezra’s despair at the center of Yr Dead’s premise is most evident: How is it possible to pack a city street with people all armed with language of “justice” and “freedom,” and yet have it all reduced down to something cheap and commonplace How can we be free—how can we fight for breath—if we remain content without truly seeing one another Community can be our salvation—so long as community is practiced as an action Sax’s argument is there the whole way through becoming clearer with each new page as Ezra languishes away peering through the fire and searching back through all those that they’ve loved or known It’s the things that we do for one another when we remain committed to each other in earnesty Community can be found in what goes on in a single-use bathroom at a gay bar It can be found in an empty lot bonfire in a college town—in any college town Community can be found on a Tumblr messaging forum chatting with strangers; and it can be found in the joining together of young sweethearts through wordless exhales that we are able to find what we need to continue on and to continue fighting Ezra recognizes themself in the mouth of their college boyfriend tumbling over and free-falling down his throat They recognize themself in their parents’ new adulthood inhabiting their father and their mother at once And they recognize themself in all of the old villages some still here and some burnt to memory long ago that channeled countless ancestors towards a climactic converging point there on an American city sidewalk—Ezra’s effigy Sax’s achievement with Yr Dead is the hope that it beckons forward It’s an assertion that we are light when we are offering something to one another Yr Dead is a closing prayer—an argument for running into the light at full sprint Henry Hicks IV (he/him) is a Washington, D.C.-based writer and organizer.

Home the saxophone is also a valued tool of the musical trade plied by classical players at Sunday’s Florida Orchestra concert at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater Second on the bill to Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet is a piece by French composer Guillaume Connesson a concerto for saxophone and orchestra titled A Kind of Trane “The composer was taken by Coltrane’s album A Love Supreme but there’s no direct quotes or anything like that The link to John Coltrane is just his virtuosity as a saxophonist and his ability to weave in and out of different subdivisions of the beat Coltrane (1926-67) was a pioneering figure in the development and expansion of hard bop and free jazz He is considered one of the most creative and influential sax players of the 20th century a professor of music at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston-Salem one of the best-known saxophone ensembles in the world He is on Prism’s Grammy-winning album Gavin Bryars: The Fifth Century His brother Joseph Young is guest-conducting Sunday’s concert “We played it together last season with the Berkley Symphony out in California,” Young explained which I was very delighted and pleased for I love collaborating with him – we have a lot of fun onstage of course; that bond between two brothers.” Reviewing his performance of the Connesson piece San Francisco Classical Voice called Young’s playing “uncommonly expressive … and technically prodigious.”   A Kind of Trane consists of three movements; for the first and third Improvisation is a hallmark of jazz – Coltrane was a master – but it’s not something that symphony orchestras do routinely actually invented it to be played in the orchestras and the military bands and the saxophone kind of became the poster child for that.” After he finishes out the academic year in Winston-Salem Young will start his new position as Assistant Professor of Saxophone at the University of North Carolina Greensboro “I started in the classical band program in the 6th grade,” Young reflected “There’s repertoire written for the classical saxophone there’s many concerti written for the classical saxophone When you think classical music you think violin I find the saxophone to be a beautiful instrument on the classical side as well.” The program also includes John Adams’ Short Ride in a Fast Machine.
