This performance is a brief and exciting musical trip through both a rock concert and the extended techniques of the saxophone. Here is the Program note from Barry Cockcroft: “Rock Me! captures the relentless driving energy, rhythms and beats found in many forms of rock music. A rapid and unwavering tempo, a gradual increase of the musical density and the exploration of an extensive range of colorful dynamics is vital in the performance of this piece. At times the saxophonist must simulate various other instruments including didgeridoo, electric bass, drum kit, distorted guitar and occasionally even acoustic saxophone.” He does this through numerous types of slap tongues, growls, voicing effects, double tonguing and rock saxophone licks.
