World Saxophone Quartet

# World Saxophone Quartet

The World Saxophone Quartet is an American jazz ensemble that emerged in 1977, blending avant-garde saxophone textures with global influences including free jazz, funk, and South African jazz traditions. Their innovative approach to collective improvisation and cross-genre experimentation helped expand the boundaries of contemporary jazz during the late 20th century.

**Note:** This artist primarily operates within the jazz and world music spheres rather than electronic or dance music. While their rhythmic funk elements and experimental ethos have influenced producers working at the intersection of jazz and electronic music, they may not be the primary focus for electronic music discovery platforms.
