“Jacob Swanson has the unique ability to penetrate into the very essence of my music. He doesn’t just master the pitches and rhythms, which he does flawlessly, but he also has a deep understanding of what lies in between the notes on the page. His performance of Frost is nothing less than spectacular and an absolute funky thrill.”

“The saxophonist is in his element when playing soprano sax, and his affection for that instrument, and the music of Bach, is in full evidence.”

“Truly lyric playing by Jacob Swanson of virtuosic music that soothes, inspires, energizes and awakens, performed within the atmospheric setting of the historic Hollywood Theatre.

Introduced with grace and insight by the soloist himself, this recital is filmed in remarkably lit vignettes, capturing many facets and details of the newly restored grand old theatre.

Time stops in this lovely recital and you will return to the world restored.”
