SOJOURN Music for Sarod, Clarinet and Tabla - sweet and relaxing. Hermann Bühler clarinet, flute Lisa Moskow sarod Geoffrey Gordon tabla Sojourn features the original music of sarodist Lisa Moskow and clarinetist Hermann Bühler. These diverse elements of eastern and western music tradition are seamlessly fused together and as such have come to represent a new genre: world beat, world fusion or East-West fusion might be appropriate names. The music is based on distinctive rhythmic cycles, exotic scales, ostinatos and improvisation. Dirk Richardson from the San Francisco Bay Guardian writes about the music of Sojourn: "When the musician's imagination is global it liberates the instrument from both geography and culture, from any particular genre or idiom. Sojourn is a joint venture of American sarodist Lisa Moskow and Swiss reed player Hermann Bühler, accompained on this recordings by tabla player Geoffrey Gordon. This unusual journey provides myriad glimpses into boundless new musical possibilities. Likewise, through interwoven and keenly balanced cycles of rhythm and melody, the clarinet and the Nordindian sarod of SOJOURN create expansive moments of pleasure and charm. Through their combination of reverence and restlessness, they preserve the dignity of their many musical sources while creating worlds that have never existed until now."
