i’ve listened to this a few times over the past several weeks, and finally decided it had spent too much time in my foobar2000 playlist not to share it here.  nonets and tentets are so nice, more depth of sound than a small combo but still not a full orchestra, a cozy in-between.

these were both shared by ‘cosmikd’, years apart.  i was going to upload the 1988 show and then listened to the 2007 show & just had to go for a “twofer”.  of the two, i prefer the second (2007) simply because it has more elisabeth kontomanou and was mostly written by her.
