Joao Lencastre: Parallel Realities

Read "Parallel Realities" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Portuguese drummer João Lencastre titled his release Parallel Realities because upon initial listening you might get a notion this music is tether-less free improvisation.

And like that, poof. He's gone." Maybe its the evanescent nature ...
