Quiet Hearts: Music for Saxophone
Gail B. Levinsky, Saxophone
Lorraine Duso Kitts, Oboe/English Horn | Jackie Edwards-Henry, Piano | Jaime Namminga, Piano
Quiet Hearts: Music for Saxophone, is Gail B. Levinsky’s first release on AMP Recordings, is a musical collage featuring the artistry of women and non-binary composers and performers. The compositions included were chosen for their historical and artistic value, while further trying – in a small way – to showcase in a single recording diversity in the music composition sphere.
Each composition featured is uniquely powerful, meditative, and thought-provoking. As such, it is my hope for the listener to move beyond the digital performance and the beauty of the classical saxophone sonority and to reflect, explore, ponder, imagine, and discover this music intimately.
