about the band

The As Yet Quintet joins together five forces in Vermont music for a creative medley of Middle Eastern, Caribbean, and jazz sounds. As Yet features:

• Anna Patton clarinet
• Miamon Miller violin
• Eugene Uman piano
• Todd Roach dumbek & frame drums
• Julian Gerstin congas & tanbou

All five contribute to the quintet's program of entirely original pieces. In As Yet's music you'll hear sounds from Latin grooves to Turkish modes, Balkan rhythms played on Cuban wooden boxes, and blues with a touch of Bulgarian choral singing.

about the CD

As Yet's brand new CD Strange but True showcases the band's inventive compositions, with songwriting ranging from subtle to fiery, East to West, tradition-based to as-yet-unheard, and arrangements that highlight the members' improvisational artistry.
