Gordon Grdina

Breathing of Statues Gordon Grdina

Vancouver guitarist/oud player Grdina's all-string quartet, playing original compositions and improvs inspired by Bartok, Webern, Berg, free jazz, Arabic taqasim, Philip Glass, and Jim Hall's string projects. The music is complex, gritty or lyrical, often very intense. The title track, a long oud piece, establishes a more contemplative atmosphere. Featuring Jesse Zubot, Peggy Lee, Eyvind Kang.
