Supersax emerged in 1972 as the brainchild of saxophonist Med Flory and bassist Buddy Clark, serving as an extraordinary homage to the legendary Charlie Parker. This American jazz ensemble distinguished itself through its innovative approach to music: transforming Parker's iconic improvisations into meticulously harmonized arrangements for a full saxophone section, backed by a solid rhythm section and the occasional brass instrument. Their unique blend of jazz intricacies and ensemble synchronization has left an indelible mark on the genre, inspiring electronic and dance musicians who sample or draw inspiration from jazz's rich textures and complex harmonies. Through their dedication to Parker's legacy, Supersax has contributed a unique voice to the tapestry of jazz, influencing arrangements and sounds in electronic music circles far beyond their original jazz roots.
