Stan Sulzmann, British jazz sax player, performed on all the original Poirot episodes, and Christopher Gunning is the composer

Are those the same people behind the 'Jeeves and Wooster' show from the 90s? Also featured a beautiful alto line. Thank you!!!!!

I love the term “concert sax”. John Williams “Escapades” also falls in this category in my opinion.

[@LeMelleKH2]

My Dad and I would watch Poirot when I was young! It was also when I first started playing sax!

[@Sirvalorsax]

Nice!!

[@sharatssaxophone]

Thank you!!! I owe you a piece of cake!

[@Sirvalorsax]

Awesome

[@sharatssaxophone]

@@Sirvalorsax Boom.. cake is served I guess

[@sharatssaxophone]

It would be great to get a lesson on R&B / Rock & Roll Sax; the lineage nobody talks about.. Illinois Jacquet, King Curtis, Clarence Clemens etc. (coming from a Sigurd Rascher fan)

It was released in the USA on PBS. All 12 seasons can be seen on Britbox. I watch them over and over. Gentle drama for a relaxing evening.

[@SkylersRants]

Yes, and it’s the best depiction of Agatha Christie’s work ever. Brilliantly done, and you’re right about the theme song.

[@accoschudel1172]

This type of Sound perfectly fits to Kurt Weills Beggars Opera which is for me the sound of the 20s in Europe.

[@Sirvalorsax]

I'll look into it thanks for the suggestion

[@SkylersRants]

What is the secret for that really buttery sound? Is it a softer reed?

[@claudkub8872]

Adolphe sax was Belgian too

[@diegoz6850]

what is best? Otto link modern vintage o Patiti mouthpiece for tenor sax, for shiny sound

[@SkylersRants]

Here is the Poirot theme song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4PSaKeDo7JpZqs

[@JeniTehan]

I'm not sure what to call it but for another British TV show with an epic sax theme check out A Touch of Frost. It's just SO dramatic! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqXZlaeFj96faKs

[@Sirvalorsax]

Wow, I never heard of that show or Barbara Thompson. I'll investigate 🔎. Thanks for the suggestion

[@vannigio6234]

i m italian, i do not know this song, but, to me is like a Tarantella Napoletana...❤️😀❤️🏛️🌋🏛️🌋

[@bobpremecz5429]

Excellent topic. What I glean from listening to this piece is the more aggressive type of playing toward the target notes of the phrase that highlights Stan Sulzmann's performance. His bold low B instead of subtone brings out the bold drama of: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZ26c4N3aNxop6c

[@mjl1958]

Poirot is Belgian.

[@rinahall]

fictionnal charactere

[@mjl1958]

@@rinahall Still defined by Agatha Christie as Belgian. Fictional or not is irrelevant, it is important to the character development.

[@bjarkifreyrbjarnason9419]

It's still a name in the French language.

[@andersskeie3760]

Poirot always got pissed when people assumed he were french😂

[@SkylersRants]

@@andersskeie3760 Yes, don't call Poirot French, mon amis.
