Moon and Legend
Album Notes and Artwork
|
“To put it plainly, Ultra World X-Tet is an extraordinary world class ensemble.” Examiner.com
"I was particularly impressed by the chemistry between Schwantes on tenor and Wong on her Western-tuned guzheng..." San Francisco Classical Voice "These formerly exotic elements can become quite familiar and entertaining when they’re so successfully and imaginatively integrated…impressive…" San Francisco Classical Voice |
Moon and Legend is Ultra World X-Tet's first album. A great mix of our favorite classic melodies, with our unique arrangements and improvisations.
