Review in the NYC Jazz Record


Proud to be a part of this amazing review in this months issue of (the acclaimed jazz journal) The New York City Jazz Record by John Pietaro of Composers Concordance presents Sound Liberation at the The Bitter End in NYC: 

”……..Dunér was called up for outstanding scat vocals, leaning easily against original music morphing into Brahms and erupting into Rozenblatt’s Krupa-like tom-toms. If this be New Music, it is the sort best viewed with eyes locked into a convex rear-view mirror. ” – John Pietaro  1/23 The New York City Jazz Record
