Review of Juggernaut:
Alto saxophonist Jeremy Justeson and pianist Carla McElhaney join
forces on two energetic, contemporary works for sax/piano duo-David
Maslanka's traditionally structured, narrative sonata and Rob Smith's
syncopated and mysterious Juggernaut. Wings, Joan Tower's
impressionistic study of bird flight for solo sax, and David Heuser's
adrenaline-rush Deep Blue Spiral round out this exhilarating
recording.
