by Dan McClenaghan
Copenhagen-based bassist Tomo Jacobson--employing his musical vehicle, Moonbow--creates a musical ruckus with When the sleeping fish turn red and the skies start to sing in C-major I will follow you to the end (how's that for a CD title?).

Tomo Jacobson: When the sleeping fish turn red and the skies start to sing in C major I will follow you to the end
by Jakob Baekgaard
