How does one categorize a musician immersed in European Classical traditions from the time of Bach to the 20th Century, but also intensely responsive to the music of New Orelans, Cuba, Puerto Rico and Brazil? Here is expressed the contrast of genteel Romanticism and the savage emotive power evoked in a more rugged way of life: artistic sentiment projected onto rough and ready ways and means.
