Reviewed 2010-04-26
Ethio-Jazz, North African rhythms meet Western Jazz/Latin.
1: 7:56 slow almost ambient noodling/drone with cool muted trumpet
***2: 5:12 fast moving rhythm with lush brass, nice vibraphone minimal male spoken word
3: 5:08 mid tempo, Latin rhythm, dreamy woodwinds
***4: 2:39 slow wall of/noodling woodwind/brass with percussion
*****5: 5:32 mid to faster rhythm, dreamy vibraphone, locked Latin percussion, male vocal wails, sultry sax
***6: 5:56 mid to faster rhythm, interesting pulsing counter rhythm?
7: 7:00 mid tempo, trombone
***8: 5:16 "Boogaloo" enough said.
9: 4:26 slow & dreamy
10: 4:09 drone, wall of/noodling woodwind/brass
