Composer and steel pan virtuoso Andy Akiho, whose work has been called “mold-breaking” by the New York Times, presents No One To Know One, his first disc of seductive, tuneful, and genre-bending compositions. It is clear that Akiho and his multi-faceted ensemble are serious about crashing through stylistic barriers in the service of cutting-edge art. Willie Ruff, the Director of the Duke Ellington Fellowship at Yale, and no stranger to landmark recordings, has said, “These young musicians are creating some of the most exciting and original music I’ve heard in a long time. I think we’re seeing history being made by these composer-performers.”
