About
Lonesome Roads is a CD of music by the 30-year old American composer Dan Visconti. The music is a nod to the American century and includes a diverse range of music, such as the minimalist Bassoon solo piece Ramble and Groove; the blues-soaked string quartet Black Bend; the Neo-Romantics Lawless Airs and the high modernist piece Fractured Jams.
