The Sax Syndicate’s five saxophonists also play as The Saxtet. They are a professional saxophone quintet from Denver, Colorado, composed of five of the city’s best saxophonists who play soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones. The group specializes in the jazz genre with intricate arrangements and inspiring improvisation. Beyond jazz, their repertoire extends to classical compositions and artfully crafted a cappella renditions of pop hits, all thoughtfully adapted for the saxophone ensemble. The Saxtet is a must-see for saxophone students and saxophone admirers.
