Edinburgh FringeThe Joy Of Sax Is Back!by James Montgomery - Aug 2007 This is an entertaining mid-afternoon distraction. After last year´s successful "The Joy of Sax", the Sax Collective are back with "The Joy of Sax is Back!" - see what they did there? Paying classical pieces and modern favourites, they have catered for all their audience. Children? They have "The Pink Panther". Young women? They have "Sax And The City". Other musicians? They get to show off, being able to play the "Pizzicato Polka" with skill and dexterity. You can´t fault any of the musicians, although it must be noted that Rob Downing is especially strong. This is a difficult genre to rate, however if you enjoy the saxophone you can´t really go wrong. If not...well, duh. Link to the review: Three Weeks Edinburgh Festival Coverage

The HeraldThe Joy of Sax is Back! St Mark´s ArtSpaceby Rob Adams - August 16 2007 With saxophone quartets having long since ceased to be a novelty, Sax Collective have their work cut out to make an impact. Their method is to play up to their name with a warm ensemble sound and to entertain with a widely varied repertoire and agreeably hammy repartee. The programme didn´t stick literally to the promised Mozart to Mancini, but the latter´s Pink Panther theme showcased the collective´s finely judged tone and togetherness, and more demanding material confirmed them as very capable players. If their jazz, tango and pop selections can be a little polite, their precision and playfulness elsewhere, including Rob Downing´s baritone reading of Saint-Saens´s The Elephant, with baking-tray ears and ludicrous trunk, made this an impressive and enjoyable hour.
