Camila Nebbia & Angelica Sanchez: In Another Land, Another Dream
by John Sharpe
Improvising with an instrument that can leave the tempered scale presents a considerable challenge to a pianist.

The only change is that Lesley Mok takes Susie Ibarra's place behind the trapset, otherwise the triumvirate completing the starry squad remains Ingrid Laubrock on saxophones, Tomeka ...
