by Mike Jurkovic
Smudging the margins, rock-fisted drummer Karl-Juhan Laanesaar crashes into the symmetrical meditation of young Estonian pianist Madis Muul's “We Have Found Water" and changes the music's fate (from ballad to pensive electronica and back again) before closing on a ferocious little jam which surrenders to a quiet reprieve.

Quartet Diminished: Station Three
by Mark Sullivan

The former Persian Empire was especially noted for its artistic traditions, including Persian classical music, which is still a prominent performance style in 2021.
