DESCRIPTION:
"An Evening in the Village: The Music of Béla Bartók" finds common ground between the piquant beauty of Bartók's take on Eastern European folk melodies and the big-sky vibrancy of new American acoustic music. Jake's ensemble the Expedition Quartet proves to listeners the potential of the stringband as a wide-ranging musical vehicle, as sonorous group of instruments as a classical string quartet or jazz piano trio.
