I never got to numbers 2 & 3, but here's an old recital performance of contemporary saxophone piece Improvisation No. 1 by Ruyo Noda. Thought I'd link, since referenced this composition in a thread about one of Mike's (wonderful) unaccompanied pieces. Thread about Mike's piece "-I-Don-t-Hear-the-Voices-as-Much-as-I-Used-To..."

Noda's Improvisation No. 1 ('87 recital)

I enjoyed that. I followed it up with your alto and tenor renditions of Groove Merchant. Nice to hear you play in contrasting styles.

Yes, that was wonderful! Nice job Shawn. And a well written piece of music by Ruyo Noda.
It reminds me of Edgard Varese's Density 21.5. They are two distinctly different pieces but I immediately thought of Varese's piece.
Hey man, thanks for the link...Very kind of you...

Thanks Shawn for bringing this wonderful work to our attention. Well played. I guess many of us seldom venture into the classical sax sections, so it's nice to find a work like this brought forward.

Great playing Shawn, thanks for sharing.
