Wavefield Ensemble - Concrete & Void (New Focus Recordings FCR304)
Wavefield Ensemble debut recording featuring works recorded in October 2020 in an outside parking garage in New Jersey, an environment which facilitated social distancing as well as collective music making.

Released May 2021.

Mathematics and the various sciences are just ordered ways of looking at and analyzing all of the raw data supplied by the universe. It's all about mappings and correspondences. At the same time, my work often takes a speculative and irrational/intuitive approach. It includes both the ordered and rational, the intuitive and irrational, and the acoustics of the ear. - Elliott Sharp

BMOP - Irving Fine: Complete Orchestral Works (BMOP/sound 1041)
Principal alto saxophone with the Boston Modern Orchestral Project
“A typical BMOP/sound release, this one rescues a composer from wholly undeserved obscurity with transparent, energetic performances — and Mr. Rose is rightly proud of it. Of six pieces, including the delightfully upbeat “Blue Towers” (1959), most important is Fine’s neo-Classical Symphony (1962), lucidly done.” - The New York Times
Sergio Cervetti - TRANSITS (Navona NV6001)
Tenor saxophonist on Sergio Cervetti’s Concertino for piano, woodwinds and timpani featuring piano soloist, Karolina Rojahn.
Written in 2013, Concertino for piano, woodwinds and timpani is a rowdy and raucous array of South American rhythms tempered by a tender quote from Gustav Mahler's Kindertotenlieder. One of Cervetti's last minimalist works, Exiles (1980), was created on the Synclavier and begins with a slow piano rendition of a melodic theme from the Uruguayan patriotic song Mi Bandera, which is soon overwhelmed by electronic textures. In contrast, Guitar Music (the bottom of the iceberg) is an early minimalist work for solo guitar from 1975 that is an experiment with "restricted pitch-classes" and a nuanced tour-de-force with a soupçon of flamenco.
