Honda tunes into sax appeal
Honda has got in tune with its Jazz e:HEV to create a special duet blending sounds made by the vehicle with the musical skills of Otis Lawrence, an award-winning saxophonist.
After capturing the noises made by the car’s seat mechanism, fuel filler cap opening, and remote key fob, plus its doors, bonnet and windows being opened and closed, Honda staff arranged a backing track to accompany the British musician.
The marque says the one-off performance was created to celebrate International Jazz Day on April 30 and hopes it will strike a chord with Jazz fans worldwide.
Nik Pearson, general manager of corporate communications at Honda Motor Europe, says: “With its style, sophistication and famed reliability, the Honda Jazz is the perfect bandmate for Otis and his saxophone.
“Since embarking on its European tour over 20 years ago, the Jazz has built up a dedicated fanbase and received a chorus of strong reviews – this is therefore a fitting musical tribute to our very own chart-topper.”
