Reviews
“Three Short Stories for clarinet and bassoon by Gernot Wolfgang has [clarinetist Gary] Gray collaborating with bassoonist Judith Farmer in a heady mix of jazz and Latin American rhythms, from the up-tempo “Uncle Be-Bop” to the coolly lyrical “Rays of Light” in which the instruments drift serenely in their separate grooves, and then the explosive “Latin Dance.”
