Parting the Waters
Reviews
JAZZ TIMES:

“Jaw-dropping agility on the violin is truly astounding focused and intense improvisation..Completely original, totally captivating, a startling journey through classical North Indian, Far Eastern and modern melodic styles, wrapped in mesmerizing layers of rhythm and harmony raging solos, majestic, delicate.”

BILLBOARD GUIDE TO PROGRESSIVE MUSIC:

“New Age Music clearly a leader in the field. Parting the Waters is worthy of the highest possible recommendation. Its an album that possesses genuine beauty, poignancy and depth of feeling so many extraordinary qualities that it achieves a rare universal appeal.”

SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE:

“Mining an area of sound between world music and jazz if she were on a major label with a big ad budget, you would already know Vicki Richards’ name because she would be a star.”

WASHINGTON POST:

“…exceptional power, imagination and resourcefulness.”

MIAMI HERALD:

“…sensational, breathtaking; clearly the only hand drummer today who has developed a unique, non-traditional style.”

CITY LINK:

“…Simply extraordinary. At a recent concert, hand drum master Bobby Thomas Jr. damn near replicated the sound of a full drum kit on what appeared to be a large tambourine, using just his fingers. When he stepped behind his actual kit, he was equally mesmerizing, cajoling colors from an impressive arsenal.”
