Parabolisms - J. Ryan Garber, Richard Scruggs

Performed by Duo parabolique et d’ivoire:
Dr Richard Scruggs - alto saxophone
J. Ryan Garber - Piano

From the description on Sheetmusicplus -

"Parabolisms, for alto saxophone and piano, derives its title from the word parabola, the actual shape of the bore of the original saxophone. The various sections of the composition feature the saxophone in a wide array of roles. From an expressive section in the lowest part of the range to fast and furious altissimo writing, it is a work that demands excellent technique, control, and musicality from the saxophonist. The work, however, is not for saxophone with piano accompaniment, but is rather conceived as a duo for both instruments. In fact, the composition was written for saxophonist Richard Scruggs who, along with the composer, form the Duo Parabolique et d’ivoire (Garber-Scruggs Duo). Parabolisms has been performed in many locations in the US and Europe."

I apologize for the low resolution photos, there's not many of either performer on the internet. This is a real tour-de-force and I was lucky enough to find a recording and post it up here.
