As soon as I had posted this to the old board, it shut down! So, here it is again...
A friend told me that someone on this board (the old site) had been inquiring about the saxophone piece by my friend Jim Matheson. I can't seem to find the thread with the question, so I'm posting to the subject areas that I am guessing would be most appropriate.
For those interested, a little background on Jim: he is a young composer based in New York City who has already received such honors as a Guggenheim grant and a fellowship at the Yaddo colony; he has had commissions from groups including the Chicago Symphony (for its chamber music series and for the Civic Orchestra of Chicago) and the Albany Symphony; his music has also been played by the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and he has had a piece released on the CRI label.
His saxophone piece, for alto and piano, is called _Pull_; it was written in 1995 (an early work, at this point; I think he needs to write another one!). I invite you to listen to a demo recording I made a few years ago, available in a streaming file at Jim's website. The url is:

Feel free to post comments here, and don't hold back -- I can take it!
