Carnatic saxophone

The man who almost single-handedly made the Indian saxophone respectable was Kadri Gopalnath. Gopalnath’s premier student is Prasant Radhakrishnan, who learned carnatic music on saxophone in the traditional guru-shishya relationship with Gopalnath in India. But Radhakrishnan also has a bachelor’s degree in jazz performance (and international relations) from the University of Southern California. Because indian music and jazz have different ranges of expressive possibilities, this evolutionary process creates a remarkable fresh approach to improvisation.
