saxophonist: contemporary repertoire


"Whether notated or improvised, the defining aspect of the modern musician is their individual approach to structuring pitch and rhythm. 
As a musician of the 21st century, and a member of the first generation to be bombarded by our ever growing collection of global media, the search for one's voice inevitably leads to a nexus: an increasingly rich intersection of musical styles."
