Michael Bisio - Tomas Ulrich: Pulling Strings

Read "Pulling Strings" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Due veterani della etichetta discografica CIMP e del suo modo di interpretare la registrazione (senza missaggio a posteriori) si incontrano, questa volta senza accompagnamento di sorta, in una situazione abbastanza inusuale (ed anche difficile per l'ascoltatore).

Michael Bisio / Eyvind Kang: MBEK

Fortunately, as becomes immediately apparent once the music here begins Michael Bisio and Eyvind Kang are string stylists of the strong distinction and their collective ...
