Carol Liebowitz and Nick Lyons: The Inner Senses

Read "The Inner Senses" reviewed by Troy Dostert


A freely improvised session for jazz traditionalists--at least, that is one way to characterize this enticing offering from pianist Carol Liebowitz and alto saxophonist Nick Lyons, the follow-up to their duo debut, First Set (Line Art, 2016).
