OM: Willisau

Read "Willisau" reviewed by Nic Jones


The Swiss improvised music scene is often unfairly overlooked. Whilst the efforts of other musicians from western European countries--principally perhaps Germany and Holland--have long since staked a claim to international attention, the same isn't true of Switzerland, at least until now.
