Americana Sax Quartet – Chittenden Locks, Seattle – August 17, 2025
Much to my surprise/displeasure, there was a second unadvertised combo on the bill, following the headliners. So the slot for ASQ was cut short; sketch time unexpectedly truncated. Oh well. Apparently this was the final performance by the group using the “American Sax Quartet” name (corroborated on a subsequent Facebook announcement that the ASQ name was being “sunsetted”). Opening the concert, spokesperson Jim Glass announced that the group would heretofore be known as “World Saxophone Quartet”, a title that did not seem to be in use by anyone else. I guess that’s technically true, since the groundbreaking original combo by that name called it quits in 2016. Good luck with getting found via Google (or any other) search.
