Let Your Mind Space Out ... CD Bob Downes Music/Openian (Germany), 2017. New Copy ... $8.99
Reedman Bob Downes definitely got the title right here – as the music's got a very spacey sound at times – as Bob reworked a contrabass flute, in order to create these really weird, textural sort of tones! Downes has been making amazing sounds since the start of the 70s – and ... read more CD
