I like this. What is the English name for the play that it's from? My only reservation about this is my suspicion that the sax player doesn't really know how to do anything beyond early-1960's squawking.
I have the Sextet of Orchestra USA's Theatre of Kurt Weill, and I'll never part with it, but consider it a missed opportunity, because there's no aural evidence that the players knew anything about Brecht & Weill's sound beyond the melodies and chord progressions in the sheet music, so it was just another jazz session with the usual jazz solos.
Not sure this fits my definition of jazz, but I very much like the contrast between the extreme formality of the voice and harpsichord and the boundary-free saxophone.
