Elkhart’s minimalist debut album monotonous

Published Mar 3, 2009

Jazz saxophonist Charlie Parker once said, "Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your own wisdom." Parker's music recreates his experiences, thoughts and wisdom for the listener.

"The Moon," Elkhart's debut album, misses the band's clear intent to exude memories of house and home.
