"Innovators," a new recording featuring compositions by collaborators Kurt Bestor and Sam Cardon, is now receiving limited distribution to record stores in the Wasatch Front region.
Initially issued as a promotional item for WordPerfect clients only, four tracks from the album ("Sage of Lamberene," "Rainmaker," "Three Tools" and Bestor's solo piece, "Prayer of the Children") were performed as part of Bestor's recent Christmas concerts at Abravanel Hall.The CD version includes 10 new Bestor-Cardon collaborations (four of them with the added assistance of Randy Blosil of WordPerfect), plus a brief introduction readable only on computers with CD-ROM drives.
The recording, designed to celebrate the works of great innovators, both famous and unknown, is also available on audio cassette.
