CD Review:

"Gao Hong, a virtuoso pipa player, presents a series of cross-cultural pieces on “Flying Dragon”, blending traditional Chinese music with Indian, Japanese and American jazz. The first track, “Morning,” is actually nothing short of spectacular...The title cut is a solo... Here, the structure, first melancholy then triumphant, achieves a fine balance... “Cutting Grain Song” finds her with shakuhachi master Yoshio Kurahashi, performing a traditional Japanese tune. Again, a beautiful number... “
