From the near traditional renditions and arrangements of "Memoria E Fado" and " La Llorona", to the abstract "Sezavar", the songs cover a wide spectrum of stylistic and improvisational blending. (David Johnson, Ivan Johnson, Pirayeh Pourafar, Houman Pourmehdi) plays a unique blend of world music and jazz using free improvisations and original compositions for marimba, vibraphone, bass, tar, setar, ney and a variety of percussion instruments. This recording is dedicated to all those who seek and practice the principals of peace and human rights. There is a scared core in all of us and it is our hope that this hidden sacred core will be open and willing to accept God's desire for us to love life and to learn from each other.

That has paid off with a new album by four of the school's teachers. Host: Scott Shafer Guests:Steve Hochman www.kqed.org
