This is insanely good:

Adam Rapa is amazing on this recording - and the rest of the group are virtuosic as well.

Okay... the first two notes alone. Holy smokes. Passing along to students. Thanks for the great find!

We've all heard Mr. Rapa claim to use his tongue to control the notes but I think his real secret is the eyebrows.

I love the part on 2:40

I use to take lessons with Adam when he's in Norway (and he's here several times a year)… he is AWESOME! I've taken lessons with a handful of world class players, but Adam is special … everything (in his playing) happens so easy it's almost ridiculous at times.

Amazing....notice that the drummer, I mean "Percussionist" has that "Jazz" look even in a Classical setting...I guess some things never change...ol
