Reviewed: 2019-07-24 Genre: Jazz FCCs: none Review: A world music duo focusing on presenting a new experience in collaboration. Even though they are both essentially percussionists, their genres are initially worlds apart. This unique and stimulating intersection between Chao Tian, playing the yongqin, a Chinese dulcimer, and Tom Teasley on all things percussive, was a wonderful match.
