Although Carol Sudhalter’s first love was the flute, she was also seduced by the saxophone early in her career as a jazz musician. “Playing different instruments allows me to expand my emotional palette,” she said. “The sax has the opposite personality of the flute, which tends to be politely petite, and it allows me to express a wide spectrum of emotions: It can be gruff, aggressive, gentle.”In the early days of her career, in the late 1970s, Ms. Sudhalter attracted a lot of attention, because female players were rare. “Women saxophonists like Camille Thurman and Lakecia Benjamin are now superstars,” Ms. Sudhalter, 81, said. “It’s a point of pride and joy for me that the virtuosity and recognition of women players has expanded so much since then.”

NEW YORK (AP) — The usually off-the-hook Grammys red carpet kicked off early Sunday when the music industry gathered for the non-televised portion of award-giving in a mix of classic black, shimmer and bold color. And some memorable man jewelry around the neck of Rufus Wainwright and a lapel of reggae artist Collie Buddz. Wainwright wore a party of gold necklaces. English musician Romy wore a sparkly red tuxedo look with a sheer lace blouse peeping out. Winners at the early Premiere ceremony showed off their Grammys around their necks.

☆ ‘Phoenix’ by Lakecia Benjamin Review: A Maturing Saxophone Tone

Alto saxophonistLakecia Benjamin often plays with a big, broad tone, and that’s for a good reason. The New York native grew up in the predominantly Dominican neighborhood of Washington Heights, and her first gigs were playing merengue and other Latin dance styles. Then some of her post-collegiate bookings were in large venues performing alongside stars like Missy Elliott and Alicia Keys , Prince and Stevie Wonder . Ms. Benjamin’s two most recent recordings, “Pursuance: the Coltranes” (Ropeadope, 2020) and “Phoenix” (Whirlwind, out now), showcase a new diversity in her sound. The new recording’s title refers to the world emerging from the Covid-19 pandemic and dealing with the post- George Floyd racial reckoning.
