The Devil’s Horn
Larry Weinstein
For 170 years, from Adolphe Sax’s workshop to the classical stages, from the legendary eras of jazz and bebop to its ban by both the Nazis and the Pope, the saxophone has always been the most seductive — and feared — of musical instruments. Award-winning Canadian filmmaker Larry Weinstein illuminates the history and mythology of the instrument, including its curse — stemming from the difficult life of its mad inventor — that anyone who plays the instrument will fall prey to its dark powers. Through the sounds and stories of its legendary players, The Devil’s Horn conjures up all the poetry, passion and mystery of the instrument.
