Quiet, sometimes lyric, sometimes pensive music: John Luther Adams’s Dark Wind, for bass clarinet, vibraphone, marimba, and piano, joined with music for clarinet/bass clarinet and string quartet by Rick Cox, Michael Jon Fink, and Jim Fox. “In turns beautiful, expressive, contemplative and haunting. Recommended.” (Incursion Music Review) “Warm dronic music that shimmers in sensuality…. just plain old beautiful music…delicate music.” (21st-Century Music magazine) “Musical constructions that suggest, and invite, quiet, focused reflection.” (International Record Review) “The performances are about as ego-free as one can find, and they seem indivisible from the compositions themselves.” (Fanfare magazine)
