2004 Release by one of the most adventurous and skillful guitarist from New York City. Rez has long been known in NYC as one of the hidden secrets, but with this record, Rez has exploded with original music which puts him in the same category as John Scofield, Bill Frisell. Whats unique about this record is that Rez fulfills his vision of integrating complex jazz with Asian(Indian and Pakistani) sounds assited by magical and hypnotic voice of Kiran Ahluwalia and Danny Weis. Dave Liebman's performance on this record is definitely some of his best playing to date. His command of jazz and modern improvized music is astounding throughout his music. Dont forget to check out his earlier releases either.
Featuring: Rez Abbasi, guitars, sitar-guitar, percussion / Gary Versace, organ / Danny Weiss, drums, tabla / Kiran Ahluwalia, Indian vocals, tanpura / Dave Liebman, soprano saxophone
