@@natrixxvision6997 After looking through several versions of his bio online, the most prominent U.S. professional orchestra I saw listed was the Indianapolis Symphony. I would argue that he deserves to be featured with orchestras such as, say, the symphonies of St. Louis, Dallas, Detroit, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Baltimore, Atlanta, or the National. There is a saxophonist, whom I won't name (but it shouldn't be hard to figure out who I mean), who has soloed with at least a couple of the "Big Five" orchestras - and while he is unquestionably an excellent musician, he can't hold a candle to Prof. Murphy as a classical player. Once in a blue moon, a top-tier classical saxophonist gets to play with a top-tier U.S. orchestra - e.g. Tim McAllister with St. Louis, Baltimore, or the L.A. Phil., or Joe Lulloff with Cleveland. Prof. Murphy's performance here, in my opinion, shows that he deserves similar opportunities.
Wow. I think that's the best I've ever heard this played. Awesome.
I love his playing!

I hope people affiliated with major U.S. orchestras see this. He should be soloing with important ensembles on these shores.
I think maybe he has.
