On November 6, it will be the anniversary of Adolphe Sax’s birth. He was born in Dinant, Belgium on that day in 1814. In light of that impending anniversary, I thought it would be interesting to take a look a\u00a0statute that was erected in his honour, in his birthplace.<\/p>\n

Luetta’s<\/a> photo places the statue in place & time for us.<\/p>\n

Whereas Jean-Marie HUET’s<\/a> photo is stylized, and shot in such a manner that the saxophone appears to be floating\u00a0on\u00a0air.<\/p>\n

There are a number\u00a0of saxophone statues located in Dinant. This small Belgian town certainly shows a lot of pride for its hometown son, who changed the musical landscape forever.<\/p>\n
