Garland For John Mccabe - LINDATURNER CD

John McCabe was almost a legend in his own lifetime, acknowledged as one of the foremost British composers of our time and also as a brilliant pianist who championed the work of many contemporary composers. Following his recent death, 19 composers wrote pieces in tribute for an ensemble of clarinet, recorder, viola and piano (and variations of the mix) which are now collected into this album which is lovingly dedicated to Johns memory and also to his widow Monica, who was a tireless support and who now works to promote his musical legacy and we are grateful for her contributions to this project. Leading instrumentalists include Linda Merrick (clarinet) who is Principal of the Royal Northern College of Music; Alistair Vennart (viola) whose career is blooming both as soloist and founder member of the Solem Quartet; John Turner, one of the leading recorder players of today and former member of many world-renowned early-music ensembles, and pianist Peter Lawson, another highly regarded performer who has played with most top British orchestras and a long and distinguished recording and teaching career.Additional Info: Bone Thugs-N-Harmony founding member Bizzy Bone returns with 16 melodious tracks that balance hardcore street narratives with a pop sensibility. BACK WITH THE THUGZ sees Bizzy passing the mic to labelmate Mr. Capone-E on "Shooting at Me" and Bad Azz on the compelling "Race Against Time."
