The music of the Sicilian composer/ reedman Stefano Maltese has been recorded by the stunning line-up of international improvisers of new music: Arkady Schilkloper (French horn), Sophia Domancich (piano), Paul Rogers (bass), Antonio Moncada (drums), Gioconda Cilio (voice). Delicate and spare, elegant and open, the music of Stefano Maltese is full of jazz, folk, Mediterranean and Arabic influences. |
