An unusual feature of this release by the saxophone-and-piano duo of Joseph Lulloff and Yu-Lien The is that all of the music is newly commissioned, and all of the composers involved had training at the University of Michigan (where neither of the players teaches). It is hard to hear the presence of a "Michigan school," however, beyond perhaps a general orientation toward accessibility; the works on the album have a substantial and attractive diversity.
