I read the devil's horn when a student turned me on to the book. In an era where truth is coming out more completely in historical accounts , Adolphe Saxs life was astounding in every way. He was brilliant, determined, obsessed and came to a somewhat tragic ending in the end when his patent ran out.
This film was almost unwatchable. You want to pay tribute to an unknown sax player ? Research Aubra Graves. I have nothing against the players featured. They are no where near the best examples of saxophone performance. Even the older homeless man while sad and deserved better life, was not enjoyable at all to listen to. The preacher sax player was AWFUL.
Book was brilliant page turner. Film was a huge disappointment. Wish I could get my money back.
