Adler’s piece is reminiscent of Barber; it is well written for both saxophone and piano. — Paul Turok, Turok’s Choice, August 4, 2011.

Adler’s style here offers lyricism with edge — Robert Hugill, Planet Hugill

This is a very nice jazz- inflected work that meanders in and out of the lyrical and the buoyant; all supported by a very neat noir-like piano part. — Daniel Coombs, Audiophile Audition

For Tenor Saxophone and Piano. Written for Jordan P. Smith, Manhattan School of Music, this demanding work utilizes multiphonics and the altissimo range to create a tour-de-force chamber work. Watch the performance on YouTube.
