JUDI SILVANO (voice & percussion) HARUNA FUKAZAWA (flutes) CLAIRE DE BRUNNER (bassoon)

First Flight is the debut recording of Judi Silvano's newest ensemble Garden Winds. These three wind musicians have been developing their Improvisation skills in many creative ensembles, and their shared awareness of melodic flow and compositional structure is evident in this spontaneous modern music. Collective musical storytelling engages with both powerful ideas and delicate expressions in this intimate and unique presentation that may surprise you at times. Our hope is that this collaboration of sounds, feelings, and personalities will develop and unfold for the listener, much as it did for the musicians at the moment it was created.
