Mike Fahn: Close Your Eyes...and Listen

Read "Close Your Eyes...and Listen" reviewed by Mark F. Turner


Close Your Eyes...and Listen is an appropriate title for the new recording by valve trombonist Mike Fahn; which showcases the majestic and beautiful sound of the peculiar instrument in the hands of a most capable musician.
