Excerpts from the Review of Saxophone Music of M. Zachary Johnson--Live at Steinway Hall in the Saxophone Journal (Jan/Feb 2007):

"[Serenade] displays the artistic interpretive skills of this saxophonist [Brian Horner] at the highest level. As you listen and get caught in the magical lyricism of this unaccompanied piece, you forget about any lack of accompaniment. This Serenade is an exciting collection of excellently performed, and well connected, arabesques which seduce the listener's ears."

About Scherzo for Alto Saxophone & Piano: "[Saxophonist] Brian Horner has a warm vibrant sound that blends extremely well with the piano. His vibrato fluctuates with the intensity of the music and the phrases of this Scherzo spin beautifully from his saxophone. There is a somewhat dark moody overcast to this delightfully tonal composition."

"The music of M. Zachary Johnson is a very valuable addition to the saxophone's repertoire. This CD will be an enjoyable addition to everyone's collection. Mr. Johnson certainly knows how to write for the saxophone."
