M. Stuck - Redlands Daily Facts
He has climbed to the
pinnacle of contemporary jazz: the saxophone player Reinhold
Schwarzwald with Marla Glen at the National Opera House. The man
with the saxophone enjoyed the Opera house with a feeling of total
reverence. "I have often stood in this opera house for great
perfomances. And now I myself am standing on this stage and playing
- to crown it all - jazz".
