The first time alto saxophonist Darius Jones put the instrument to his lips, he was 5-years-old. The sax, which was almost his size, belonged to an uncle, a professional player.
“He put it to my mouth and I blew into it, and I got a sound,” Jones said. “I was so excited. Then he told me when I got a little bit older, [he would] get me a saxophone. And it’s been part of my life from the very beginning.”
