Description
Saxophonist Pat Posey goes to extremes for his solo debut album, they/beast. Introducing the tubax - a German-invented, modified version of the contrabass saxophone - Pat plays deep, dark renditions of J.S. Bach's Cello Suite No. 3, Melodies for Saxophone by Philip Glass, Bach-inspired Mo'ingus by Brooklyn-based composer-saxophonist Shelley Washington, and Pat's own Hymn.
"Posey displays colossal lung power and technique – presumably self-developed, given the newness of the tubax. Almost everything here takes the listener into unchartered territory." – BBC Music Magazine ****/p>
