Some saxophonists name Sonny Rollins as their role model. And just like Rollins himself, the saxophonist Jon Irabagon likes to play in a trio: bass and drums support Irabagon in his reference to Rollins.
Not only on the cover of his current album, Foxy, does Irabagon lean towards his role-model Rollins:
His performance in Moers, too, is dedicated to Sonny Rollins and is based on Rollins' standard Doxy. During Irabagon's concerts, most people in the audience might find it difficult to see the references between the two sax players, but nevertheless, or rather, therefore, his energy is blown all the more powerfully into the tent.
The idea of a dedication to the album of a saxophon player did not appear out of nowhere. 2009 Irabagon played with the quartett Mostly other people do the killing a fascinating gig at the moers festival. Their programm was named This is our moosic and it refers to the Ornette Coleman's Quartet Album This is our music.
Jon Irabagon, at New York's Charlie Parker Place (you can see it in the video), talks about his work with Trio:
