The Urge Trio: Live in Toledo

Read "Live in Toledo" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

Hence, they vibrantly interact and create a predominately stark or perhaps naked soundscape, devised on minimalism, pathos, probing dialogues ...

However, you don't have to be a cryptologist to realize that it comes from the last track, “Drive," which contains the ...

Space music in the 21st Century has less artefacts than the 70s first steppers, and more ...

by Ian Patterson

The roots of the title of violinist Tomoko Omura's second CD as leader refer to traditional and popular melodies familiar to several generations of Japanese.
