Classical saxophonist Steven Banks joins pianist Xak Bjerken in a program featuring Paul Creston's strikingly dynamic Sonata for Alto Saxophone and Piano, followed by Johannes Brahms' late-in-life Sonata in F minor, originally written for clarinet and heard here in an arrangement for saxophone. The program concludes with Banks' own Come As You Are, a lyrical, deeply personal work inspired by traditional spirituals.
