Huw Wiggin & John Lenehan – Reflections (2018) [FLAC 24bit/96kHz]

One of the most popular saxophonists performing today, Huw Wiggin has been said by The Times to have a tone of ‘liquid gold’. For his latest album Huw has put together a programme that is as varied as it is popular, and for which he commissioned several brand new arrangements by John Lenehan, including Debussy’s ‘The Girl with the Flaxon Hair’. The result is a unique journey of contrasting repertoire, enlivened by the versatile nature of the saxophone, and these innovative interpretations bring a new twist to familiar musical territory.
