NEWBURGH – J@A Presents: Karen Borca Quartet
- Jazz at Atlas
- 11 SPRING STREET, NEWBURGH, NY United States
Additional Information
"Ms. Borca is one of jazz's very few bassoonists, and her solo style owes a lot to the modern tenor-saxophone tradition. But the tone of the bassoon makes Ms. Borca's cascading arpeggios and clear high notes sound more plaintive and quizzical than they would on a saxophone."
— Jon Pareles, New York Times
