Gordon Grdina: Cooper's Park
by Mike Jurkovic
Cooper's Park's eighteen minute centerpiece crashes into energetic existence sounding like someone just remembered to push record while the ensemble was in high flight mid jam.

La selezione è fatalmente influenzata non solo dalle mie predilezioni (non si può ascoltar tutto e fatalmente ci si concentra su ciò che per qualche ragione ci ...
Meeting of the Minds and Sounds: The Clarinet and The Oud
