Ponder Nothing

Editorial Reviews
Francois Couture From the All-Music Guide
"Amherst Saxophone Quartet member Susan Fancher has delivered with Ponder Nothing, a strong and well-balanced program of contemporary music."

Francois Couture From the All-Music Guide
"Fancher holds the spark that can turn austere music into something emotional."

Album Description
Susan Fancher is more than just 25% of one of the best sax quartets around; the Amherst. Her clean, agile soprano tones bring a whole new dimension to these classics of the contemporary sax world. From her luminous overdubbed arrangement of Steve Reich’s minimalist classic New York Counterpoint to Scelsi’s shamanic wailing and Ben Johnston’s microtonal filigree, Fancher reveals her exquisite sense of line and solo artistry. More of a Yo Yo Ma of the saxophone than a Jan Garbarek or Lisa Simpson, Fancher will make fans out of even the staunchest of saxophobes.
