A Right. He’d written this mega-part for “City Noir,” so it only made sense that one of the next steps was to solicit a solo piece. We did “City Noir” in Toronto and with the New World Symphony. Little by little, it led to shop talk — him being a bit of a dabbler with the saxophone, and his father having played saxophone in swing bands. PRISM was wanting to get a saxophone quartet from him, and at some point I let it drop in his ear that if there was any possible way of getting a piece from him some day for myself, that I was more than game.

I let it go, and over a year went by, and — you know how it is with people, you kind of fall in and out of ballet shoes necklace, initial necklace, silver toe shoe charm, ballerina dance charm, ballerina slipper gift, for her touch, I just kind of stayed on his radar as I kept doing “City Noir,” and then in February of 2012 I received an e-mail out of the blue from him, saying that he’d finished “The Gospel According to the Other Mary,” and he was thinking about the next project and he’d like to do a saxophone concerto in Sydney, and asked if I was free, Am I FREE? I almost dropped my smartphone, I was with my wife; we were eating in a restaurant..

It all happened so fast. It was incredible to see these four orchestras jump on board to commission this piece. A project like that typically is five or ten years out for someone of his stature. A I remember him asking, “If I wrote a saxophone piece, would I have to use multi-phonics?” I said, “You don’t have to do any of that stuff if you don’t want to.”. I did it this past March in Milwaukee, and John was there for the first evening’s post-concert talk. I remember commenting that “a big part of this piece, beyond the notes, was learning to “crack the code” for the sound that John wanted.”.

How does someone write a piece that’s clearly a classical piece, but is to be played without fully acknowledging the instrument’s classical history — ballet shoes necklace, initial necklace, silver toe shoe charm, ballerina dance charm, ballerina slipper gift, for her yet without playing it in a way that’s cliched with a typical jazzy quality, that possibly comes off as disingenuous or hokey? That can be hard, because when a lot of composers try to write “jazz,” they will write something that’s full of blues scales and scoops, because they think that’s cool, A First of all, we can’t dismiss the importance of jazz and the saxophone; they’re indivisible..

It’s a sound that references jazz but is still a classical piece. The key was turning off these inherent French qualities that are part of the classical tradition. John had kind of an aversion to it, to the point that he wanted me to avoid it altogether: the faster vibrato, the fluffier, more affected and less gritty French sensibility. He didn’t want that. John’s exposure to classical saxophone was more in the American tradition — studio players, and then born out of the avant-garde jazz players like Eric Dolphy and Ornette Coleman.

A I have a bit of a jazz background, particularly from college days, but I’ve never been a great improviser, I’m OK, I can get through several standards; I can fake my way through it, (He laughs.) Nevertheless, it’s important to me, and I stay up on all the ballet shoes necklace, initial necklace, silver toe shoe charm, ballerina dance charm, ballerina slipper gift, for her great recordings and players, Q So how does that help with John’s concerto?, A I was able to flip these switches, He’d say, “Stop! Stop! Did you hear what you did to that note? Don’t do that!” Any time these French influences came in — like you’d have playing Milhaud’s “Creation” or Ravel’s “Bolero” — we’d turn them off..

A Right. Because here he is using a couple of iconic albums as an inspiration and yet it’s done so effectively that it’s just sort of — it doesn’t sound like it at all, but you have that similar sensation. It’s straddling the line. A I was pushing pretty hard. There were a lot of places where I was playing louder than the marked dynamics. He would literally sing it to me, and I would play it back. I was trying to get this cinematic sweep that John has, these long kinds of phrases, or a distant sound or this noodly kind of sound. There’s not a lot of hyper-minute expression that you might see in a violin concerto. It’s more like big arching lines, like you’d see from the great jazz players — but played with a classical mouthpiece, over a busy orchestration.

A No, when we got to Sydney, I was still playing pretty ballsy, We listened back to a recording of the premiere, and John decided my attempts to really sound jazzy were overblown and strident, So we backed off it, From that point on, I started going for something more rich and sweet, ballet shoes necklace, initial necklace, silver toe shoe charm, ballerina dance charm, ballerina slipper gift, for her not simply power, But then we got to St, Louis, and I stayed on a classical mouthpiece but went to a little bit of a bolder — and at the same time sweeter — setup, And things finally clicked, In St, Louis, I felt I got it..
