REVIEWS

Windspell
author: Ryan Leaf (Seattle)
I was surprised and happy when I heard about this release. I was even more surprised that upon receiving it... It has become my favorite release this year. I can't help but appreciate the sheer brilliance that a lifetime of hard work can lead up to... with the culmination being the music recorded on this disc. For me, this is my favorite music that I have heard Bola play. There are many glimpses of beauty throughout this record, and his playing is so GOOD!!! Buy it, you will be happy you did.
