Sentimental Saxs by Lê Tấn Quốc is a 1996 instrumental gem that brings together smooth jazz and the expressive warmth of the saxophone in a deeply emotive collection. Known for his ability to blend technical finesse with heartfelt interpretation, Lê Tấn Quốc reimagines iconic Vietnamese and international melodies with elegance and nostalgia.
The album opens with “Đêm Đông” by Nguyễn Văn Thương, a melancholic classic beautifully rendered on the saxophone, setting a contemplative tone. This mood continues with “Hận Tình Trong Mưa” and the evocative “Buồn Tàn Thu” (by Văn Cao), where each note seems to linger in the air like a soft whisper of memory. His rendition of Trịnh Công Sơn’s masterpieces—“Rồi Như Đá Ngây Ngô,” “Ru Ta Ngậm Ngùi,” and “Ướt Mi”—is especially notable, as it captures the philosophical melancholy that defines the composer’s work, now translated through the haunting timbre of the sax.
International tracks like “Memory,” “Love Story,” and “If You Go Away” are also sensitively interpreted. Lê Tấn Quốc doesn’t aim for grandeur but opts for subtle phrasing and emotive restraint, allowing the melodies to breathe and speak on their own. The result is deeply intimate.
The closing track, “Con Thuyền Không Bến” by Đặng Thế Phong, is a fitting finale, drifting gently like a boat lost in mist—beautiful, solitary, and timeless.
With smooth jazz sensibilities and a distinctive Vietnamese soul, Sentimental Saxs is an album for quiet nights and reflective moments. It’s both a tribute to the richness of Vietnamese ballads and a testament to the saxophone’s emotional range under Lê Tấn Quốc’s masterful touch.
