From the synth-alto of Lewis McCallum, to the beguiling soprano of Godfrey de Grut and the earthy soulful tenors of Chris Neilson and Nathan Haines, musician and adventurer (and Supergroove hornman) Nick Atkinson heads into the urban wilds of Auckland to discover more about the curious and sometimes reclusive species: the Saxophonist. Their natural habitat is a dark home studio packed with horns and synths. They frequent noisy nightclubs and often retreat into stylistic corners as they grapple with complex and vexing musical problems.
