JESSE BERNSTEIN & PETE LEINONEN- Words and Music Cassette

Steven Jesse Bernstein (words) joins bassist Pete Leinonen (music) for a live performance aired initially by Pacifica Radio.

"The first four pieces, floating flotsam-like on languid waves of bass, sets the mood. It blows my mind that the first piece is "Ghost". "Waiting For Some Things To Come Through": Really hypnotic, pulling magnetically the train of images, led by Jesse's cadence; tripping into a visionary kaleidoscope of syncopation. Not unlike listening to a great jazz sax solo. And throughout the 59 minutes of performances, this duo runs consistently deep, with moments of exaltation for the sheer beauty of the combination; of the phenomenon. 'Words & Music' is an apt title. "-Gary Minkler May 2023
