Abstract

The article focuses on Tim Garland's new album, "Mezzo," which showcases the rare mezzo-soprano saxophone, a custom-built instrument with only 20 in existence, crafted by Danish technician Peter Jessen. Garland, a Grammy-winning musician, highlights the unique tonal qualities of the mezzo-soprano saxophone, which he describes as bridging the sound between alto and soprano saxophones. The album features a collaboration with pianist Geoffrey Keezer, emphasizing their long-standing musical relationship and the improvisational energy captured during recording. Garland aims to make the album accessible to listeners by including familiar repertoire alongside original compositions that highlight the instrument's capabilities. [Extracted from the article]
