Breathing Lessons, Music for Saxophone Quartet
Most people outside of conservatoriums don’t hear any sort of woodwind quartet regularly but recently a number of high quality Saxophone Quartet recordings have been released and Breathing Lessons is the next one that, for any discerning listener of contemporary repertoire, is a must. With a dynamic contrast that is enviable and a musical integrity to rival any string quartet the New Hudson Saxophone Quartet are simply, really good. At times mellow and jazz inflected with contrasting moments that are more classical in tone, this ensemble is a lot of fun to listen to.
