STEUART LIEBIG/QUARTETTO STIG:
Lingua Oscura

Quartetto Stig was the vehicle for   some of my first projects that involved improvisation as a main component of the composition. I did three CDs with this band. The second, Lingua Oscura, came out in 1995. The music for this band has a lot of different elements: jazz, early 20th-century classical, rock, latin, funk.

This disc was recorded live to two-track DAT.
