We judge unfamiliar artists on their instrument, album covers, or websites; and then we decide whether that artist deserves our attention. Once we listen to a recording, we constantly compare how the work aligns with our pre-conceived notions. Percussionist Chembo Corniel shatters all expectations on For The Rest ...
