REFLECTIONS (TUM records,2004)

Personnel:

Juhani Aaltonen (ts,f)

Reggie Workman (b, perc)

Andrew Cyrille (d)

Reflections can be seen as a companion to "strings revisitied" (tum records,2003), which featured the trio with "the avanti chamber orchestra" conducted by Henrik Otto Donner.The music on this record is improvised within only a loose compositional framework that leaves much freedom to the musicians.Composed themes are used only as a starting point, and there are no pre-conceived arrangements.
