Baiju Bhatt: Eastern Sonata

Read "Eastern Sonata" reviewed by Geno Thackara


Is there a term for the opposite of culture shock? Whatever it is, it's also the guiding theme behind Baiju Bhatt and his Red Sun ensemble. Their studio debut, Eastern Sonata, is a figurative travelogue from start to finish, but there's nothing jarring or shocking about it. A conventional Western lineup (piano, bass/drums, saxophone) is led ...

Graz Composers Orchestra meets Claudia Döffinger: Monochrome

Read "Monochrome" reviewed by Hrayr Attarian


The title of composer and pianist Claudia Döffinger's collaboration with Graz Composers Orchestra, Monochrome, is a bit of a misnomer.
