LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
ane Bunnett spent three years piecing together her breakthrough "Spirits of Havana" record, which was released in 1991 when relations with Cuba weren't the best, but red tape still abounds when travelling with the group.
Two Tucson musicians have been named artists-in-residence in Chamber Music America's Rural Residence Program, a highly competitive scheme to get classical music into the nation's smaller communities.
The intangible quality that gave Gram Parson's music such resonance remains elusive to his acolytes even today, as an ill-fitting tribute shows.
Also, a Red House Painters retrospective, Germany's new "Teutonic boom," and more.
