Local nonprofit public radio
station KXCR will presents
saxophone talent Robert
Sabado on Saturday, Aug. 20.
Sabado’s highly re-garded
recordings prompted jazz leg-
end and mentor Stan Getz to
describe his as “the best tone
around.”
These days, Sabado has
been fusing downtempo elec-
tronica grooves with live saxo-
phone improvisation.
Playing with this genre
allows melodic lines to flow
out of Sabado’s horn and
mind. This presentation of his
music has proved to have
been a real treat for the audi-
ence.
“I have been around the
world and I believe my music
can take the listener to exotic
lands,” said Sabado.
KXCR will present the ris-
ing star in the smooth jazz
