5-23-26 Pushing The Envelope: Music Decidedly Left of Center - Happy 80th Birthday, Robert Fripp!!

Greetings!

Phase One focuses primarily on new releases and a wonderful piece for electric guitar & piano by Canadian composer, Tim Brady.  In contrast, for most of Phase Two we celebrate Robert Fripp's 80th birthday with classic works featuring Mr. Fripp with prestigious collaborators!

Listen & Enjoy!
