Dream Travels, the new CD from Gary Schocker &
Jason Vieaux on the
Azica label, includes works of Ravel, Bartok, Ibert, Villa-Lobos,
Merlin and Shocker.
"...they exhibited strong individual
personalities and a controlled looseness together that gave the music
a spontaneity absent from so many recitals."
The Washington Post
"Gary Schocker and Jason Vieaux showed a
sell-out crowd that not only do the instruments work, they are almost
perfect compadres...a unique experience."

flute & guitar
Exciting and beautiful music in a mixed duo setting is the treat for
audiences who hear Gary Schocker & Jason Vieaux, flute & guitar. Catch
their classical, Latin, romantic, new and old works for the combo and
their great virtuoso solo shots, an evening you won't soon forget.

"It wasn't necessary to read
the artist bios to figure out that Schocker and Vieaux also have
active solo careers. Unlike the garden-variety brand of wind-up
performers who dutifully recycle the same sturdy pieces, they
exhibited strong individual personalities and a controlled looseness
together that gave the music a spontaneity absent from so many
recitals." The Washington Post
