Johnny Hunter / Mark Hanslip / Olie Brice: Divisions

Read "Divisions" reviewed by John Sharpe


Divisions might seem a strange choice of title for such a cohesive set.

Faith Brackenbury / Tony Bianco: Wayward Mystic-Improvisations inspired by the music of St.Hildegard von Bingen

Read "Wayward Mystic-Improvisations inspired by the music of St.Hildegard von Bingen" reviewed by John Sharpe
