John Hollenbeck Large Ensemble: Eternal Interlude
by Troy Collins
In addition to leading the unclassifiable Claudia Quintet and performing numerous sideman duties, composer and percussionist John Hollenbeck is renowned for his inimitable multi-layered writing.

Refuge Trio: Refuge Trio
by Glenn Astarita
The musical sound and scope of Refuge Trio resembles a sanctuary of genre-morphing frameworks, neatly compacted into a conspicuous group-focused mindset. Appropriately, the trio's name was inspired by Joni Mitchell's song “Refuge of The Roads," from the legendary singer/songwriter's Hejira (Elektra/Asylum, 1976), to coincide with a performance at the 2002 Wall-to-Wall Joni Mitchell concert at Symphony ...
