		While I would have liked to hear more of the bassist, who valiantly plucked away at her instrument, Fabian Lim's deeply satisfying saxophone tone and comfort in both John Williams' jazz and classical idioms was an absolute delight, steadfastly leading his way through the work as if he'd been playing it forever.
