In The American Muse, the New Hudson Saxophone Quartet performs American music for saxophone quartet that spans beyond a century, from 1879-1999. The CD represents a first in programming for the saxophone highlighting well-known American composers in little-known or unknown works.
"Beautiful, sensitive playing" —Lawrence Leighton Smith (MSM Philharmonia)"Stunning virtuosity; a tour de force" —Chris Wilhelm (Ridgewood Concert Band) "Soulful, impassioned playing. The spirit of this music breathes within the group." —Harry Huff (Metamorphes Orchestra)
“They wail, yes they do. A great program played by great musicians. What a lark!!”—T.O.C. |
