Leni Stern: Dance
by Jim Worsley
Compelling is the word. If you are in search of a one word description of Leni Stern's new record, it is indeed the word. Then again, that aptly applies to her body of work over the past thirty-five years. Dance is as much a metaphor as it is a movement. Life, in its never ending struggle ...

It's one of the more unusual releases of late; you'll hear an excerpt from their extended work. Monk is ...
