"Kyoto" by John Psathas

Enjoy Frost Percussion Group's take on "Kyoto" (We recommend HD setting)!
Artists performing:
Karlyn Mason, Tyson Voigt, Benjamin Charles, Thomas Bowden and Frank Cannella.
Audio engineers: Tad Nicol and Margo Calhoun
Program notes:
The title of the work refers to the recording of an improvisation by pianist Keith Jarrett that took place in Kyoto on November 5th, 1976. Acknowledging the influence of this recording, the composer writes:
"This improvisation of Jarrett's is, more than anything, the piece that woke the composer in me, and set me on this journey of creating my own music for others"
Kyoto is dedicated to the Ju Percussion Group on its 25th anniversary.

Bravo! I can not believe that these are children and students. Who made ​​the video? Artist with thought and feeling of the music, light and space.

[@thetraveler1230]

I can only dream of having that minimal of movement on my second mallet.

[@o_bvi5312]

the outside mallets are fine for me, but its a whole other level when you are trying to play fast chops with your insides and ur outsides r going all over the place 😭😭

[@rzpercussion7149]
