Evoke

Evoke is the Ferio Saxophone Quartet's third album, following their previous critically acclaimed releases Flux and Revive. For this recording they are joined by pianist Timothy End for a program of original works and arrangements for piano and saxophone quartet. Shostakovich's Jazz Suite opens the proceedings, followed by Iain Farrington's extremely descriptive Animal Parade. This is followed by a virtuosic arrangement of Bizet's Carmen Suite, before the program closes with the quintet Memorias by Spanish composer Pedro Iturralde Ochoa. All of the arrangements are by Iain Farrington, and are all premier recordings.
