The international saxophone quartet
known as Art&Sax have released their new EP record, “Gare Saint
Lazare.” The EP is composed of six tracks for an approximate total
listening time of half an hour, making for a round introduction to
one of the world's most eclectic and ingenious groups of classical
performers. It has been released on New York City's best-kept musical
secret, the underground Scotch and Murder independent record label,
which is known as the publisher of albums by such popular musicians
as Fjazz and Krychek among others.
The “Gare Saint Lazare” EP by
Art&Sax features well-known and loved classical pieces by the
likes of Gabriel Pierne, Peter Tchaikovsky, and Johann S. Bach. These
titles include such popular works as “Gare Saint Lazare,” “String
Quartet No. 1, Op. 11, Mvt 2. Adagio,” “Introduction et
Variations Sur un Ronde Populaire,” “Brandenburg Concerto No.3,
Mvt 1. Allegro Moderato,” “Brandenburg Concerto No.3, Mvt 2.
Adagio,” and “Brandenburg Concerto No.3, Mvt 3. Allegro.”
The title track, “Gare Saint Lazare,”
is named after the second-busiest rail yard in Paris, which is also
the second-busiest such station in all of Europe. It has been the
subject of many works of art including one famous painting by Claude
Monet. The cover art for Art&Sax's “Gare Saint Lazare” is
also a fine representation of the building, itself.
At the heart of Art&Sax is their
co-founder and baritone saxophonist, Fernando Arruda. Arruda's bio at
his official website describes him as “an expert in music theory,
history and performance (School of Music of Brasilia; University of
Brasilia; Australia’s Performance Arts Unit; The New School for
Jazz and Contemporary Music, Eugene Lang College), Fernando Arruda
graduated both as a performer (B.F.A.) and as a historian (B.A.).
Currently he pursues a Master’s Degree (M.M.) at New York
University’s Steinhardt for Film Scoring, Multimedia, and Concert
Composition.”
“Gare Saint Lazare” is the debut
record from Art&Sax and Arruda's first classical release.
“Gare Saint Lazare” by Art&Sax
is available online worldwide.
