“The instruments take on an especially lyrical, singing quality,
igniting the rarely-tapped Romantic potential of the saxophone-piano combination
which Johnson has mastered.”

Robert and Sherri Tracinski with me after the concert. Sherri designed the concert invitation and program, and later the artwork for the CD. Rob reviewed the concert and CD in TIA Daily. I especially like the painting of Beethoven being in the background.

Schuyler and Catia Chapin had helped make the concert possible. I'm very grateful to them!
