The saxophone, patented by the Belgian instrument maker Adolphe Sax in 1846, was originally intended as a filler of sorts. Sax and his backers figured the horn’s flexible sound could cover for almost any instrument in the brass section. What they didn’t realize was how well the instrument can stand on its own. Saxophonitis–a sax quartet–will demonstrate tonight at 8 at the Village Compound, 2237 E. 79th St. Sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians; admission is $7. For more, call 752-2212.
