HARVEY SIDERS: QUARTET, THAT IS >>>
Pollywogs, Pachelbel and Preludes. Such is the tongue-in-cheek title for a concert to be given tonight by the Just Sax Quartet â€" four Gig Harbor-based saxophonists whose classical repertoire is punctuated and syncopated by the inclusion of jazz and pop arrangements. Offering this alliterative program: Pam Ryker, artistic director for the series, “Classical Tuesdays,†at Slavonian Hall, in Tacoma.
Debussy’s Children’s Corner Suite contains the famous “Golliwog’s Cakewalk,†which appears on the program as “Pollywog’s Lake Talk.†Among other whimsies: a swinging “Sorcerer’s Apprenticeâ€; the always dependable Pachelbel’s “Canon;†the equally dependable jazz powerhouse, Lennie Niehaus’ “Fugueâ€; and an upbeat encore piece, the very Joplinesque (Scott, not Janice) “Ragtime Suite.†That’s merely part of their program. Leader Julie Allison plays soprano and alto; Stacia Rink, alto; Sheryl Clark, who transcribes much of the material, tenor; and Catherine Kostelecky-Roe, baritone. Just Sax was born in 1988 as “Three Chicks and a Chicklet.†(The latter didn’t gum things up â€" she was simply the shortest.) They’re all educators; one is a chemistry professor; they all play in the Tacoma Concert Band. How can you resist them … or the free admission?
