For all of you who have been asking: Where has the saxophone been in pop music for the last 2+ decades? Well other than the occasional indie band using it, it’s been more or less in hibernation.<\/p>\n

This little hibernation is over now thanks to the world’s #1 female pop icon, Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga enlisted the saxophone skills of none other than Clarence Clemons<\/a>, on 2 of the tracks of her new album Born This Way<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Both “The Edge Of Glory” and “Hair” from yesterday’s released Born This Way<\/em> album, signal to the world that yes, it is possible to successfully wed an acoustic instrument into electronic music. And that the saxophone, with its uncanny ability to mimic human vocal characteristics, is the most likely candidate for such an acoustic\/electronic union.<\/p>\n

At present there is no video yet for “The Edge Of Glory”. However as of yesterday, it was already No. 3 on the pop charts.\u00b9<\/p>\n
