Paper Topic

I want my topic to be on Sax in the Modern Era of Jazz. Namely, I'm curious how the playing of the instrument was constructed in the more common 60s-80s era, and became what it is today.

Alternatively, if there's not much to this topic, I can focus on Video Game Jazz since it's very recent, but I don't know how much nuance there would be to this topic (in terms of developments in the jazz genre).

The Decision

I'm going to do video-game jazz. Specifically, I'll try to highlight some saxophonists that have appeared within these genres.

  1. This video shows the comparison/contrast of video game music overall with the newer generation.
  2. There's the wiki on game music as a genre.
  3. Another Adam Nealy video on game music.
