Mareike Wiening: Metropolis Paradise

Read "Metropolis Paradise" reviewed by Don Phipps

by Don Phipps

Composer-drummer Mareike Wiening's album, Metropolis Paradise, is a homage to her six-year residency in New York. And what a special time it must have been--judging from the music--a warm, sunny collection of shimmering and breezy beauty.

Greg Ward: Stomping Off From Greenwood
