Tyler Rix, Ascent

After listening to Ascent just once, I was completely hooked. It's a cross between jazz, classical and choral music. Tyler Rix manages to make the transition from producing an almost haunting sound (for example track 3- Mortal Flesh) to uplifting and racing notes such as on tracks 5 and 7 (She Moved Through The Fair & Primavera). There's a great mixture of tunes on this album to which the young saxophonist can showcase his talent and he truly excels. A fantastic debut album, I hope there's more to come in the future from him
