A few buddies of mine are looking into putting together a sax quartet, and have run into a few obstacles.
We're not too experienced on what titles to choose. We've found a few arrangers, but how do we know if we'd like to play the song? We have no idea what they sound like.
Well, my question comes down to being pretty much how would we be able to find recordings of the songs we're putting into consideration? Also, maybe I could get some recommendations for jazz and a few classical (we're trying to bring a quartet to state too).
I would ask my director, but I'm not going to talk to him for another month or so, and I'm sure he won't be very encouraging about it all.
Thanks!
