From the recording PREVIEW - Unbreakable Hope and Resilience
Kyohmi Takahashi lost both parents to the tsunami in Ishinomaki. What eventually drew her out of severe depression was the hands extended by those around her. “I took each person’s hand, one by one, and before I knew it I was back in daily life.” Quinsin Nachoff’s tenor saxophone solo develops by following and responding to the voices of the other musicians, mirroring that process.
