JEFFREY LEPENDORF: “Journeys Have Destinations of Which the Traveler in Unaware” = shakuhachi/ with Scott Fields, guitar – Albany
This odd combination is rather zen-like in its impact.
“Spring Sounds, Spring Seas” = JAMES NYORAKU SCHLEFER: Haru No Umi Redux; Shakuhachi Concerto; DARON HAGEN: Koto Concerto: Genji – James N. Schlefer, shakuhachi/ Yumi Kurosawa, 20-string koto/ Orch. of the Swan/ Kenneth Woods & David Curtis – MSR Classics
Some of the most attractive East-meets-West musical exercises that I’ve heard on disc.
“Concerti for Strings with Percussion Orchestra” = Works of SEKHON, SMITH, LIPTAK, TIMPSON & ADAMS – Soloists/McCormick Percussion Group – Novello Records “Magic Mirror: Selected Works for Japanese Instruments, Vol. 2” by MARTY REGAN – Soloists – Navona Records
East meets West appealingly in both of these programs.
NATHAN DAVIS: “The Bright and Hollow Sky” = Int. Contemporary Ens./soloists/Douglas Perkins – New Focus
Some eerie blending of acoustical and electronic sounds makes for interesting listening.
