John Adams's City Noir (2009), inspired by LA ""noir"" films of the 1940s and '50s, and the debut recording of his 2012 Saxophone Concerto are performed here by the St. Louis Symphony led by David Robertson, featuring saxophonist Timothy McAllister. ""Dense, brash and exuberant,"" says the New York Times, ""these two stellar works by John Adams are love letters to the confidence of the 1950s and a time when some of the greatest feats of virtuosity were often performed in smoky jazz clubs ... McAllister sizzles."" Grammy Award Winner: Best Orchestral Performance.
