Grammy Award-winning Third Coast Percussion (TCP), praised by NPR for championing “borderless music” and “blurring musical boundaries,” celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2025 with Standard Stoppages, an album that explores how time can be stretched, manipulated, played with, and reimagined.

The Cavatina Duo — renowned Bosnian guitarist Denis Azabagić and Spanish flutist Eugenia Moliner — collaborates with the Grammy Award-winning Pacifica Quartet on River of Fire, an album featuring world-premiere recordings of five original compositions that bridge classical traditions and Gypsy influences.

Our new update of our Third Coast Percussion playlist celebrates this month’s release of the ensemble’s 7th album for Cedille as they mark their 20th anniversary with a collection of world premieres titled Standard Stoppages. We’ll add tracks from the new CD when it’s released on April 11.
