My professor is going to be playing Russell Peterson's "Concerto for Alto Saxophone and Percussion Orchestra" in a few months. I heard them rehearsing the other night and decided to check out the piece after looking at the score (a lot of ink ) So I came across this album by the Concordia Percussion Ensemble called "Wood, Metal, Skin." On it there is a great performance of the piece but there is no mention of who the player is? I checked the ensemble's website and a few other resources to no avail.

Anyone know who's playing on the album?
Wood, Metal, Skin

Russell teaches at Concordia, and is an outstanding saxophonist, so I would say that it is almost certainly him.

Thank you drakesaxprof. I thought it might be him, but it wasn't listed on his website.

It's him, look on his discography page 3/4 of the way down.
