by SIGURD RASCHER
IN TUNING IN to this broadcast, listeners must completely revise their ideas of the saxophone. In the hands of Sigurd Rascher the instrument enters the lists in company with the recognised equipment of accepted virtuosi, and becomes a most effective and sympathetic medium for rendering serious music as though to the manner born.
As a matter of fact, the saxophone has a most respectable pedigree, and the dance band has a moral claim on its services no greater than had Fagin on Oliver Twist 's. Tonight listeners will hear Sigurd Rascher demonstrating how intelligent an instrument is the saxophone in the right hands, and how beautifully it can be taught to speak.
