CD Reviews

A pioneer of music for percussion ensemble!
11/22/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD is a nice tribute to an unfairly pigeonholed composer. His works have a spellbinding, rhythmic vitality - a great variety of sound pursued by using innovative playing techniques (even a saw drawn across a suspended cybal) on Caribbean and African instruments as well as on found objects. Is this intellectual music? No way, there's a strong influence from jazz and pop music in it. If you like rhythm being poured in your ears, buy this CD - and even if you are in a percussion instruments bashing-mood buy it: don't miss a chance to get your ear trained with world-class percussion ensemble music!"
