IMANI WINDS
I recently heard some musical clips from the Imani Winds on National Public Radio. They have a unique sound and mission that truly make them the wind quintet of the 21st century.
From their webite http://www.imaniwinds.com/about.html
"Since its inception in 1997, the Grammy-nominated Imani Winds, comprised of five unabashedly adventurous yet delightfully accessible musicians, has been enriching the traditional wind quintet repertoire with European, African, Latin American and American music traditions. Just as the name Imani denotes in Swahili (faith), the ensemble closely follows its mission over nearly a decade, carving out a distinct presence in the classical music world for their dynamic playing, culturally poignant programming and inspirational outreach programs, which they have brought to many communities throughout the country."
