Not your father’s clarinet CD! From the opening drum solo to the first recordings of Scott McAllister’s rock ‘n’ roll concerto Freebirds (based on the Lynyrd Skynyrd classic) and John Mackey’s Damn, this CD breaks barriers never even thought of before! Robert Spring’s astonishing virtuosity and superb musicianship have sparked tremendous praise from the clarinet community. A wizard at special techniques like ultra-fast multiple articulation and circular breathing, Spring has published numerous articles on these and other contemporary procedures.
