| | Information about saxohonist Rudy Wiedoeft and catalogue of works edited by Musik Fabrik |
 | | It has often been put forward that the popularity of the Saxophone was a direct result of its use in Jazz music at the beginning of the 20th century. | | | During the period from 1900 to 1930 in America, there was a saxophone craze which made the electric guitar phenomenon of the 1960’s look like nothing in comparison. | | | The one person who best personifies this period is perhaps the biggest musical star of the 1920’s, Rudy Wiedoeft. |

| | Watches-Volume 1- Tram! Frank Trumbauer's Legacy To American Jazz 1923-1929 |
| | Just listen to a few of these tunes and you'll immediately see who influenced Lester Young's light, airy sound.Trumbauer will always be known as the musical sidekick and soulmate of the legendary jazz cornetist Bix Beiderbecke. | | | Actually, Trumbauer (or "Tram" as he was called by his close friends) was one of the most influential saxophonists of the 1920's, and along with Jimmy Dorsey and Rudy Weidoeft, his playing influenced nearly all of the major jazz sax players who came into prominence in the late 1920's and early 1930's. | | | His C-melody saxophone, an almost unheard-of instrument these days, plus his dry tone, seem part of another era. |

| | SCOTT ROBINSON MELODY FROM THE SKY |
| | He came of musical age before jazz did, and was a virtuoso of the first water (he could articulate like a jack rabbit) who commanded respect from all musical quarters. | | | Saxophone Blues raises the spectre of Rudy Weidoeft, who was an immensely popular saxophonist of the 20's whose records sold like hot cakes. | | | There is the potential for a real musical unanimity when a player plays off of backgrounds he wrote himself: here, it illuminates Scott's melodic conception. |

| | There's another musician that I researched, and found fascinating once I got into him, who is almost completely unknown now, though in the day he was a superstar. | | | He was the first saxophone superstar, and I'm not quite sure how to pronounce his name, it's a German name, Rudy Weidoeft, I suppose you'd say Weideoft if you're an American. | | | You know, I don't know how he pronounced it, whether he gave it a German pronunciation. |
