In June 2019 I took up a long standing invitation to make an episode of #DansVlog at the Selmer Paris factory, (which is just outside Paris in a town called Mantes-la-Ville.)
It was an incredible experience and I am so grateful to Selmer and in particular Florent Milhaud and Sabrani Belardi for organising my visit. Every Selmer saxophone since 1921 has been made in this factory. That’s the saxophones of Coleman Hawkins, John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Wayne Shorter, Michael Brecker, Branford Marsalis and so on…
Enjoy this special episode of #DansVlog and if you can, take the opportunity to book your own tour of the Selmer Factory, one of the most important buildings in the history of the saxophone.
