Aaron Lington - Secondary Impressions (2019)

With its expansive musical range, great expressive capability,
and cello-like tessitura, it's surprising that there doesn't
exist more classical solo repertoire for the baritone
saxophone. With that thought, Grammy Award-winning saxophonist
Aaron Lington presents a program of works composed specifically
for the instrument - Robert Nelson's 1996 "Concerto for
Baritone Saxophone and Orchestra," and Eric McIntyre's
"Secondary Impressions" - along with a transcription of Astor
Piazzolla's "Milonga sin Palabras," and Joan Tower's "Wings,"
which she encouraged Lington to perform on the baritone
saxophone. Known primarily as a composer/arranger and jazz
saxophonist, Lington received his doctorate from the University
of North Texas in classical saxophone performance and remains
active internationally through his position at San Jose State
University and as a Silicon Valley Artist Laureate.
