Mi

Voice of Silence, Koichi Hanafusa,
written on 17. Febuary 1998
- C'est beau Mulhouse, la nuit, (concert review, Julliet 1998), in: L'Alsace, 13.7.1998
Respect is due to the man with a horn, RICO
Spending more than a week just to write a small piece on Rico, a great trombonist, I found it's a hard work to write in English. ... You can enjoy my photos of him with a smile and a bit of a story behind his latest album called "Wonderful World".
