Yours portly has an out-of-town gig tomorrow night for a private party in Wilmington, North Carolina.  I’ll be playing a mix of French and modern pieces on my alto saxophone.

Naturally, I have spent some spare time this week after school and lessons and practicing.  One of my recent favorite Romantic Era pieces is Alexander Borodin’s “Polovtsian Dance No. 1,” from his opera Prince Igor.

I made a small recording and uploaded it to YouTube:

Happy Listening—and Happy Friday!
