Christine Wodrascka discography Seven months after the release of the conceptual album Songs of the Spanish Civil War, Ramon Lopez delivered a very different CD, Aux Portes du Matin (At Morning's Door), his third release on Leo Records.

Christine Wodrascka music CDs Sometimes strange ideas give the best results. Vibraphonist Alex Grillo wanted to perform the same repertoire with three different trios.
