ABOUT THE PIECE:
"Point Reyes was originally a piece for 6 alto saxophones, which I wrote for myself to record, and was first released on Innova in 2010
as a part of the David Crowell Ensemble record Spectrum. Something about the feeling of the piece which is equally exuberant, melancholic, and nostalgic, led me to childhood memories of family explorations in Point Reyes, a place that, depending on the day you visit, is either shrouded in fog and mystery or sunny and epically glorious. I think you can hear this interplay in the emotional shadings of the music.
The piece was given new life and performed live for the first time when Victor Caccese of Sandbox Percussion arranged the
music for percussion quartet. It has been amazing to hear them perform Point Reyes with incredible rhythmic mastery and musicality."
