The first time I heard Timothy McAllister I randomly checked out some saxophone material at a local university music library 23 years ago. What struck me was his consistency across the range of the instrument. He is able to round out those open notes just like the closed notes. The altissimo was bonkers. Thank you for posting this Timothy!
Lucky Middlebury! So many things I could target for praise, but I'll focus on one: I loved how you employed a darker sound for the Bayolo, a contrast that stood out even more when placed beside the Cutler. One of the best things about the saxophone (if you ask me) is its incredibly wide range of tonal colors - second only, I think, to the orchestral strings (and the human voice, of course). It's great to hear a musician who, aside from the obvious technical mastery, has in his arsenal a variety of timbres to "paint" with, and who carefully considers how and when to make use of them. _Bravo sempre!_
