(Usually their audience undergoes the very same transitions, which explains quite a bit about the music's demographics, but that's another matter...) In over a decade on wax, Michael Musillami ...

Michael Musillami: Beijing

Read "Beijing" reviewed by Frank Rubolino

On the highflying Beijing, Michael Musillami sets up shop with a swinging team of sprightly improvisers in bassist Joe Fonda and drummer George Schuller.
