Disneyland Resort 2019 All-American College Band Has a Saxy Night with Guest Clinician Sal Lozano

The Disneyland Resort 2019 All-American College Band played with guest clinician Sal Lozano on Thursday Night at the Hollywood Backlot Stage in Disney California Adventure. The performance comes as the summer season for the band begins to come to a close. Sal Lozano, a fantastic jazz musician, brought the night to life with his spirited leadership of the band. The result was a night of fantastic jazz from the group.

While working with the band earlier, Lozano shared, “Every note…needs to have validity. Every note needs to have truth. Every note needs to mean something.” The performance that followed was excellent as the players put the validity and truth into each note they played. Every note did indeed mean something.
