Experimental saxophone virtuoso and multi-instrumentalist Colin Stetson has worked with a number of acclaimed artists – Tom Waits, for one – but it’s with his new album New History Warfare Vol. 2: Judges that Colin puts himself in the spotlight. The record is a mind-blowing forty-four minutes, mostly showcasing Colin creating unearthly sounds with his bass sax. No surprise that it’s on the short list for the 2011 Polaris Music Prize. Stetson spoke to Side B about Judges and more.
