Nina's Dad 2022 Had been wanting to purchase something from Hollenbeck for years. Definitely one of my favorites for 2023. Have already listened to it 5 times in the last month. Favorite track: Earthworker.

diego100 A surefire cure for anhedonia...

So positive a statement that I would like to plug directly into the source of this music; being able to listen to Letters To George is a large reward.

You can check out this work from any angle and it is musically profound, heartfelt, and invigorating fun.

Listen through once just following the amazing combination of textures created between instruments and ensemble. Wow.
