Oakland Elementary School Arkestra, The - The Saga Of Padani [CD]

Avant jazz from Marshall Allen, Fred Frith, Terry Riley, & schoolkids! The Saga Of Padani presents the odyssey of 4th, 5th & 6th grade students from novice musicians into an avant garde ensemble. An ensemble that engenders an array of sonic textures which never remain static or stagnant, but flow in a way that it's always surprising, often starling and astonishing.
