All of Wiedoeft's greatest solos are on this 69-minute CD, a spectacular showcase of saxophone music from the 20's. Beautiful melodies, rippling fast cadenzas and torrential ragtime -- all authentically recreated from a study of every recording Wiedoeft made of each solo.
"The Wiedoeft magic of many years ago is finally re-vitalized through the great artistry of Ted Hegvik." - Arnold Brilhart
"Hegvik, whose tone, attack, and overall instrumental command are absolutely breathtaking, throws himself into the material with abandon." - The Mississippi Rag
"A tour de force of stylistic and technical virtuosity." - Tampa Tribune
