“A person not familiar with the saxophone may wonder if it belongs in the sanctuary. Well, it does! First of all, do away with all of your preconceived notions regarding how a saxophone sounds. When James Steele plays the saxophone, he plays with a beautifully controlled tone with impeccable tuning and nicely controlled vibrato. James Steele is a member of WSaxQ, a saxophone quartet located in the Washington DC area. Several years ago James sent me two compact discs. Their playing moved me to tears when I heard the artful sound they produced, and from that experience came a friendship that has culminated in this lovely CD. You will enjoy and be moved by this recording.” – Kurt Kaiser (Eighteen selections for saxophone and piano)
