Gerard Cornielje AS he holds dearly to his saxophone, you can't help but notice that Gerard holds on to it like a lover embraces a woman.  The painting "The Kiss" painted with careful attention by Klimt comes to mind.  Gerard is a musician filled with passion, energy, and spontaneity. His spontaneity revealed itself the other day when suddenly a message arrived to me, a message in the way of a video captured on the balcony of his hotel room from Tangiers. (watch below)  Gerard is not only an accomplished saxophone player, he is also a singer and a poet.  His musical styling is dynamic and even a little mischievous, playing cat and mouse with his audience.  Visit Gerard at his official website.

Daffy, the leader of the yellow brass section swings his stamen  to the rhythm of the wind. Bees in pinstripes get a buzz out of  booze from flowing flowers on the borders of the known universe. The lark goes down in style and sings the blues while falling from the sky into the throat of the black hole.
