Review

T. PAGE, NEW YORK TIMES
In Three Movements for Trumpet and Orchestra Mr. Asia has created a work that is eclectic but unified, informed but not overly referential. One may detect elements gleaned from Webern (a delicate, almost pointillist approach to orchestration), Berg (a certain Expressionist formal sweep), Hindemith (a sort of jazzy Classicism) and, especially, late-50’s Miles Davis, but the finished product is the composer’s own.
