Thank you for checking out this prototype of Sax on Wax, a discography of classical saxophone on vinyl. Its purpose is to demonstrate the general appearance and navigation of the proposed site. While the prototype contains known minor issues regarding naming conventions, formatting, and image quality, these do not concern me at this stage. The exception is broken links; please let me know of any you find so I can correct them.
Because the main categories are sparsely populated due to the prototype's small size (fifteen releases), here is a sample navigation path to illustrate a more realistic exploration. Trace as much or as little of it as you like. If you use it, you may want to open a copy of this page in a second browser window to guide your steps.
Composer (below right) -> G -> Alexander Glazunov -> Quatuor pour saxophones -> Select any of the three releases -> Under Performers, Daniel Deffayet -> Select Daniel Deffayet, Alto Saxophone release in lower right corner -> Under Details, Golden Crest label -> Select any release -> Release Year (upper right) -> 1967 -> Either release
Thumbnail images on detail pages can be expanded to medium and large size by clicking on them. The auxiliary items in the menu in the upper left are primarily placeholders for now.
Please provide feedback on whether the site is clear and easy to navigate, including anything you found confusing or any obvious omissions. Most importantly: would an expansion of the site to document the 400 vinyl releases from this era provide value as a historical artifact, reference tool, or discovery vehicle? If you are a saxophonist, is it something you would find interesting and useful?
Thank you for your time and feedback.
