TREE (CR-7009 / 1991)

Edgar Meyer on double bass (recent recipient of a MacArthur’s
Foundation ‘Genius Award’ for his incomparable accomplishments
in the classical, jazz, and bluegrass musical worlds), Robert
"Tree" Cody, Native American flute, Claudia Tulip,
clay vessel & ocarina; Udi Arouh, guitar; and Will Clipman
on gourd water drums. |
