I always remember Timothy Roberts playing the sax concerto at Lake Braddock with the Lake Braddock Symphonic Band, directed by Roy Holder. I was in middle school back then but gosh that concert was just loaded with good music (James Barnes' premiere of 6th symphony, lonely beach, sax concerto, etc). it was such an electrifying performance. Please, keep writing music! Hey John, I’ve been involved with band ever since middle school and man, everytime I hear something that triggers my hair to stand is your music!

As for Timothy Roberts, he's definitely fantastic and he certainly plays with a bit more control as opposed to the soloists in the recordings that used to be on this site, but IMO I found the grittier tone of the other soloists to be just a weensie bit more preferable ;] Hmmm, as far as the rest of the band goes, it sure is better than the previous recordings.

They're even better than the previous recordings. I noticed a lot of parts that I hadn't heard before. Wow, you’re right! They’re even better than the previous recordings.
