ALBUM NOTES
3932-MCD HARVEY PITTEL, SAXOPHONE WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WIND ENSEMBLE, JERRY JUNKIN - CONDUCTOR... EMERGING AND CELEBRATED REPERTOIRE FOR SOLO SAXOPHONE AND SYMPHONY BAND - VOLUME 2... World famous saxophonist Harvey Pittel simply plays at a level beyond comprehension. The literature on this CD needs someone like Harvey to perform it properly. Literature plus performer equals a must have CD... This is the second offering in this important series of recordings. Performing with a soloist can be one of the most rewarding and educational experiences for any musician. As a director, there was no resource to locate quality literature and quality soloists. There was a need for a series of recordings that offered soloists, in front of wind bands, to help directors locate literture and identify soloists. This new series will feature all instruments from the band. To date, there are three saxophone CDs, James Spinazola 3918-MCD, Harvey Pittel Saxophone on 5050-MCD and 3932-MCD, Tim Northcut - Tuba 4371-MCD, Joshua Hauser - Trombone 6055-MCD, Vince and Gabriel DiMartino, Rich Illman, Trumpet and JD SHaw, Horn 5386-MCD, Vince DiMartino - Trumpet (3412-MCD)... Concerto for Alto Saxophone (I. Prologue; II. Ostinato; III. Epilogue)/K. Husa - Concerto for Alto Saxophone & Wind Ensemble (I. Song: Fire in the Earth; II. Intertude: Bright Window, your night is full of stars; III. Song: Dear Jesus, what have you... done?; IV. Interlude: Starry Night; V. Song: Mortal, have you seen this?)/D. Maslanka
