London Saxophonic

London Saxophonic

London Saxophonic is a saxophone (with piano, bass guitar, and percussion) ensemble begun by Gareth Brady, Will Gregory and Simon Haram, while they were studying at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. They made their debut in 1997 on Atlantic Records with "Sax Pax for a Sax", a collaboration with Moondog, who composed all of the works on the album. In 1998, they went to the now-defunct label Tring (primarily a budget-label of technically primitive, cheaply recorded classical music) with a Michael Nyman retrospective titled "An Eye for a Difference", produced by David Roach.
