Love the range and control of colors here. Congrats on being named one of the featured soloists for next year's Navy Band Symposium! Do you know yet what you'll be playing? (Oh, and a big congrats on returning to take over the studio at your alma mater!)
This is some incredible work!!! Your tone color is so very nice and it’s actually partially what I’m trying to base my tone off of now :) For those that are looking for specific parts: Movement 1: 0:00 Movement 2: 3:35 Movement 3: 5:25 Movement 4: 7:31
Hearty congratulations on the new gig. You're inheriting a great legacy (as you're surely well aware); I'm glad they got someone of your caliber to take over. Best of luck in your new role!
What is the ring in the bell? To correct the often sharp low B and Bb? Manufacturers should really just make the bell the correct diameter so this isn't needed.
The ease at which you play so effortlessly and artistically is pure inspiration. Congratulations on a phenomenal, nuanced performance, Nicki!! Keep slaying!
The solo part is relentless! But you make it sound/look far easier than it surely is. Thanks for including the applause at the end - nice to see you getting such an enthusiastic reception from your fellow saxophonists (well deserved, of course). I hope one of these years NASA will be somewhere I'm able to get to...
Heard Carrie Koffman play this at the Navy Band Symposium a few years ago. My principal reaction was, "I don't think a man could get away with playing this piece." Your sound is great - huge, full, yet always focused and clear, regardless of register. Is your CD out yet?
Heard these performances "at" the conference last night; glad I can now share them with colleagues and students (one of whom was introduced to you at the Eastman summer program last year). I'm "attending" three Regional Conferences this weekend; your set was one of the top highlights. I look forward to the CD!

Hi ! I'm saxophonist from South Korea and currently studying at Belgium, I really love the arrangement, and can you share it for me? Thank you jhericsong@icloud.com
