From the Publisher
Andy Scott had the privilege of collaborating on a number of occasions with composer/pianist Richard Rodney Bennett, and composed Respectfully Yours in memory of RRB, who passed away in December 2012.
The composer writes; “Some pieces that I compose need to stay in their original version, however with the gentle melodic lines and jazz-influenced harmony of ‘Respectfully Yours’ it felt appropriate to bring a piece which is essentially a simple ‘thank you’ to Richard Rodney Bennett, for being an inspirational musician and kind and generous person, to a wider audience. “
This alto saxophone and piano version of ‘Respectfully Yours’ is dedicated to the American saxophonist Tim McAllister, and was given a world premiere recording by Tim and pianist Liz Ames. Respectfully Yours was commissioned by Fabian Bloch, the original version is scored for euphonium and piano, and recorded on his debut CD ‘Drive’
