notes
“A person not familiar with the saxophone may wonder if it belongs in the sanctuary. Well, it does! First of all, do away with all of your preconceived notions regarding how a saxophone sounds. When James Steele plays the saxophone, he plays with a beautifully controlled tone with impeccable tuning and nicely controlled vibrato.
James Steele is a member of WSaxQ, a saxophone quartet located in the Washington DC area. Several years ago James sent me two compact discs. Their playing moved me to tears when I heard the artful sound they produced, and from that experience came a friendship that has culminated in this lovely CD.
You will enjoy and be moved by this recording.” – Kurt Kaiser
(Eighteen selections for saxophone and piano)
