Los Angeles-based percussionist, producer and sometime radio DJ Carlos Niño is active in jazz and new age music.

Liebman, Rudolph & Drake: Chi
by Neri Pollastri
Poco meno di un'ora di improvvisazione divisa in sei parti, due delle quali molto lunghe, per un trio che non aveva mai suonato assieme prima e che ha una struttura piuttosto singolare, vedendo le ance di Dave Liebman accompagnate da due percussionisti, Adam Rudolph e Hamid Drake. I tre artisti si avvalgono della pregressa intesa maturata ...
