The playing was not only spontaneous but masterful by the entire group. I truly enjoyed the phrasing, dynamics and arc of each composition. Todd’s alto playing (and Clarinet) is a true inspiration and will lead us to new levels of possibilities from concept, individuality, melodic & rhythmic freedom, sound, and harmonic versatility. You have given us new levels to aspire to. Through the ashes of this Pandemic comes the ingenuity and birth of a new voice on the Alto saxophone, Todd DelGiudice”.
