David Milzow
Born in Germany in 1979, David Milzow studied saxophone and jazz/rock/pop at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Hanover. Long immersed in the great tradition of the saxophone family, he has achieved perfect mastery of its many genres. He covers the entire spectrum from the highest notes of the soprano to the lowest of the baritone, moving effortlessly from the lush and airy sounds of a Coleman Hawkins, Stan Getz or Gerry Mulligan to the quick bebop of a Sonny Rollins, Charlie Parker or John Coltrane, the singing strains of the rhythm ’n’ blues school, funky phrases reminiscent of Maceo Parker, and the pop styles of David Sanborn.

To reproduce authentically such a wide spectrum of sounds, David uses vintage horns, such as a King Super 20 tenor, a Conn baritone, a Selmer Mark6 alto and both Selmer and Yanagisawa sopranos. Of great importance, too, are the mouthpieces – some vintage, others the vintage-style creations of Berg Larsen (ebonite and steel duckbill), Otto Link (metal and ebonite) and Meyer.
David's references reflect the same diversity as his instrument collection. Wherever a sax is needed and regardless of the genre, he can slip like a chameleon into the role, having worked live and in the studio with musicians as different as Jimmy Cobb (Miles Davis’s Kind of Blue), Eric Alexander, Jean-Louis Rassinfosse, Lyn Collins, Kip Blackshire and Marva Whitney, to name but a few.
