Alex Foster's Healing Sax

"I am romantic about music," Alex Foster, star saxophonist, claims. "I've been given the saxophone to express music the best way I can and also to be the best musician I can possibly be. Music can heal and soothe the soul in an instant." Truer words have not been spoken. Music is a healing tool, and you might as well call Alex Foster a doctor because his smooth saxophone dominates. He can expertly switch from a slow, sultry song to a fast paced, super solo with ease.
Alex Foster's song "Wait a Minute!" is a fun, jazzy song with little saxophone trills that jump out at you. The sax goes along great with the fast drums and guitar. "Litha's Song" is a slower jazz piece with a beautiful piano bit that lays a smooth cover for Foster's saxophone. "Harlem West" is a much sultrier song than the rest, but an excellent bit of jazz music. The song sways back and forth, dipping in and out as it leads the listener along with masterful skill. What makes jazz so wonderful is that it has such up beat, and fun tones that make you want to move. Jazz has a lovely expressiveness about it that allows musicians to really feel the flow of the music and play along within that flow. This is something that takes years to achieve, and it is why jazz musicians are so impressive. Alex Foster is no different.
If you want to be healed by music, then I suggest checking out Alex Foster, the jazz music doctor. Check out his website here:
