Peter Apfelbaum & The New York Hieroglyphics: It Is Written
by Andrew Velez
Composer and woodwind/keyboard/percussion multi-instrumentalist Peter Apfelbaum advocates “music without borders and says he writes from “a drummer's perspective. Familiar soundposts are absent and It Is Written, the latest recording of his Hieroglyphics band, requiring a shift in the listener's preconceptions of big band possibilities.
