Rova Saxophone Quartet - "квартет саксофонов, созданный в 1977 году на Западном побережье США. Название квартета составлено из первых букв фамилий участников — Джо Раскина, Лэрри Окса, Эндрю Войгта (после 1989 — Стив Адамс), Брюса Эккли. В 80-е годы квартет стал одним из популярных ансамблей фри-джаза, исполнял как спонтанную музыку, так и произведения современных авангардных композиторов. В 1983 и 1989 ансамбль гастролировал в СССР, став первым фри-джазовым коллективом, появившимся за "железным занавесом" (отсюда и название альбома — Saxophone Diplomacy)".
