NOTES FROM UNDERGROUND (1985) 11'

Theodore Presser
alto saxophone; piano
Prem: 10/9/85; Kingsport Fine Arts Center, Kingsport, TN
Recorded: 1993; Protone Records

A saxophone plays on a subway platform, his music being periodically drown out by the passing trains.
A fascinating programmatic piece -Chattanooga Times
It is based on the jazz idiom, and is at times heavy and dissonant. However it has a driving rhythmic energy and was presented with zeal by both performers. - Kingsport Times
