Page added Aug 16, 2012 Updated Aug 27, 2012

The saxophone takes centrestage, inspired by Bernie McGann's new album 'Wending', released to celebrate his 75th birthday year. More here.

We also hear from fellow Australian saxophonists David Ades and Jamie Oehlers, whose latest releases both have New York connections.  And we’ll travel back to 1961 to hear a track from John Coltrane’s classic 1961 recording Live at the Village Vanguard.
