Exquisite, virtuosic music from Los Angeles’s Cold Blue Music record label, a source of
remarkable new music with a West Coast slant for more than 25 years.
Performances by Vicki Ray, John Schneider, Alma Lisa Fernandez, and Christopher Roberts,
including a Los Angeles premiere (Adams) and a world premiere (Garland). Works for piano
with “cascading echoes,” solo double bass, solo viola, and voice with just-intonation National
steel guitar. Also heard will be a short recorded work by the late composer and instrument
builder Chas Smith.
