Brian Dickinson & the Penderecki String Quartet: October Songs

Read "October Songs" reviewed by Jack Bowers


Contemporary jazz meets classical chamber music (with rather mixed results) on October Songs, the 2026 recording by Canadian pianist and composer Brian Dickinson and his trio who share center stage with the Ontario-based Penderecki String Quartet.
