Americana Sax Quartet – Chittenden Locks, Seattle\u00a0 –\u00a0 August 17, 2025<\/p>\n
Much to my surprise\/displeasure, there was a second unadvertised combo on the bill, following the headliners.\u00a0 So the slot for ASQ was cut short; sketch time unexpectedly truncated.\u00a0 Oh well.\u00a0 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”).\u00a0 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.\u00a0 \u00a0I guess that’s technically true, since the groundbreaking original combo by that name called it quits in 2016.\u00a0 \u00a0Good luck with getting found via Google (or any other) search.<\/p>\n
