Brassy, smokey, melodious. There's nothing like the saxophone. This incredible work from the award-winners behind Before She was Harriet includes a poster of jazz music's greatest talents.You may think that the story of the saxophone begins with Dexter Gordon or Charlie Parker, or on a street corner in New Orleans. It really began in 1840 in Belgium with a young daydreamer named Joseph-Antoine Adolphe Sax--a boy with bad luck but great ideas.
Coretta Scott King Honoree Lesa Cline-Ransome unravels the fascinating history of how Adolphe's once reviled instrument was transported across Europe and Mexico to New Orleans. Follow the saxophone's journey from Adolphe's imagination to the pawn shop window where it caught the eye of musician Sidney Bechet and became the iconic symbol of jazz music it is today.
Deflty retold, this history is paired with the gorgeous artwork of James E. Ransome, including an attention-grabbing poster of iconic jazz musicians you can find inside the jacket.

Looks great
I got this to make a memorial shirt for my grandmas funeral. I was worried it may be too hot but the fabric is thick and breathable. Easy to heat press on. Looks great! I actually want to buy another

Good fit, stays tucked.
A little long to wear untucked, but long enough to stay tucked through the work day.

Very small for the indicated size. Fairly thick, more like a Fall shirt than a Summer one
This is almost a 3 star shirt, but it has some drawbacks:
1. it is very short for it's size. I ordered an XX (2X) because I am not skinny. But I am not short either. This shirt would probably be tall enough for a very round 5ft tall man.. but if you are of average or slightly taller than average height you may find the torso length to be radically too small (unless you'r using this as a half-shirt for the gym or beach to show off those abs. :-D ... I am a bit more conservative in nature and so this shirt simply doesn't cut it.
*so: if you have a VERY SHORT TORSO this may be a great option for you! :-)
Thickness of fabric; the material is really thick. I was immediately getting warm when wearing this. It is advertised as a summer shirt but really it is more appropriate for Fall or Winter.
Otherwise, the buttons seem durable, the stitching is adequate, and the price ain't bad.
Lets call it 2.75 stars; recommended only on conditions indicated above.

Slim fit
I like the light material and styling. It does fit a little closely, so watch out if you're a bit large.
