Mike Richmond - Tones for Joan's Bones (2018)

As some of the critics have predicted, Mike Richmond the Philadelphia-born award-winning bass player has put together another quality cello album here again.

After the release of his previous album 'The Pendulum' (SCCD31826) Richmond has been frequently performing cello as his main instrument.
