Thanks, Sue!! Exciting stuff!
Susan Nelson 8:50:19 AM
Amazing compositions!
Teresa Peacock 9:00:04 AM
Good Morning, Marvin & friends! All the pieces are wonderful, but I cannot express how magnificent and electrifying I found Juri Seo's #Three! And the performance was amazing too -- all that tight, percussive, syncopated rhythms and the lush, evocative melodies that were teased out from them -- I thought I heard some gorgeous echoes of Debussy and Ravel in the fabric of the composition as well. It certainly is one of my favorite pieces that you've introduced to your listeners here!
Susan Nelson 9:02:47 AM
