Great Cello music Part 2
I learned about David Darling on an earlier thread (whose music I enjoy a lot). I have Dave Holland's Life Cycle which has become one of my all time favorites. Are there any other recommendations that come to mind? I'm mostly interested in the genre that straddles Jazz and Classical.
