Nelson Rangell |
|
“An artist of depth, a master of song, and an improviser nonpareil”
– JAZZIZ Magazine “Rangell creates the impression that anything is possible when he improvises”
– Flute Talk Magazine Such praise is confirmation of what contemporary jazz fans have known since the Denver-based saxophonist emerged in the late ’80s: Rangell is one of the most exciting and diverse performers in the genre, equally adept at soprano, alto, and tenor saxophones, as well as a genuine virtuoso on flute and piccolo. |
