Debut solo album featuring 21st Century Music for Tenor Saxophone

From the underplayed to the never before played, delta waves offers a wide variety of 21st-century works for the tenor saxophone. Saxophonist Andrew Hosler‘s debut solo album feature is thirteen works from composers from all over the world. The goal of this release is to highlight some phenomenal works that deserve more recognition, and hopefully there is something here for everyone from the new music curators, to those who have yet to fully immerse themselves into new music and need a place to start.
