Jerry Nowak (1936–2015), founding baritone saxophonist of the Philadelphia Saxophone Quartet since 1968, was a respected educator, conductor, and prolific composer with over 800 published works whose musicianship left a lasting imprint on the ensemble and wider musical community. His arrangement of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Three-Part Inventions for saxophone quartet captures the contrapuntal clarity and Baroque elegance of the originals while translating them into a vivid, modern idiom for winds.
