THEODOSII SPASSOV TRIO
The Fish Are Praying For Rain
Traditional Crossroads 80702-4298-2 (2000)

End-blown flute capable of some of the world’s most breathily magnificent music becomes Bulgarian-rooted jazz tool. Hot, inventive multi-tradition playing, from Spassov on kaval, vocal sounds and duduk, pianist Roumen Toskov and drummer Hristo Yotzov, goes to interesting new places, but with only occasional glimpses of that soaring kaval beauty.
