Album Notes Karuna, which means compassion in Tibetan Buddhism, is the name of a new trio whose members collaborative history goes backs almost 50 years. With Karuna, Drake, Jones and Rudolph bring their unique and evolved rhythm and sonic languages to the fore, reaching to inspire any audience though spirited dialogue. The name Karuna reflects their ongoing research into the connection of the inner life to musical expression and speaks to the idea of creative action as a gesture of compassion. What makes Karuna's music magic is the special history and decades of shared experiences among the musicians. More Info about the Karuna ensemble
