The CD is available everywhere online (Amazon, iTunes, etc), and a pdf of the score is on my website, along with streaming mp3's:
It was also reviewed favorably in the current issue of Sax Symposium. "OK-OK is a delightful addition to the saxophone quartet library so definitely make time to hear it. Their timbres are perfectly matched and their phrasing is excellent." Their intonation is superb and their unisons are excellent, regardless of the tempo. "These performers blend beautifully together with an extremely strong sense of ensemble. Paul Wagner reviewed both the piece and the performance extremely favorably: The recording is by The Frost Saxophone Quartet at the University of Miami. The entire piece is based on the Bird's solo from "Ko-Ko", but recontextualized (it ain't "jazz".). The CD is called "SIXTH SPECIES" and includes my sax quartet "OK-OK", commissioned by The Fromm Foundation for The Radnofsky Quartet in Boston. While not strictly a CD of only sax music, my recent CD is a "Recommended Recording" in the current issue of Saxophone Journal (March/April 2009, Vol.33 #4). The second, "Saxophone Concertos" happens to have the same title of his 1997 EMI release, but actually features new recordings of Reed, Mackey, Ellerby, and Mashima with the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra. The first, "Dream", is a two-disc compilation of the most melodic classical pieces he's recorded over the years on the EMI label. "Paganini Plus" (Alto Saxophone and Piano)Ī soon-to-be released CD by Nathan Nabb featuring the works of Babbitt, Berio, Ekhardt, and Hurel on the Amp label and two recordings by the great Nobuya Sugawa. "Paysages" (Soprano/Alto/Tenor Saxophone and Piano/Guitar/Harp/Orchestra)
