Merengue percussion appropriately gets things underway here. The track builds out from there with jazz stylings. There is a lot of world music in the mix as this grows from there. It is a classy jazz romp with plenty of shifts and changes and world sounds at its heart. This wanders toward fusion as it continues to work through. It really becomes quite a powerhouse number with some smoking hot jamming.

This has a definite Celtic folk world music vibe to it. The second movement has a great energized groove to it. This is a lot of fun. It gets into more scorching hot jazz territory further down the road.

This is a four part suite, built through four separate tracks on the CD. The next four tracks listed here are the parts of the suite.

Piano starts this and a real old-time vibe permeates the track as what I think is flugelhorn is laced over the top. The arrangement gradually builds outward from there.

World music merges with rock and jazz vibes as this thing continues its forward path. It expands on the vibes begun on the introduction. After building up for much of the duration, this drops to mellow stuff to take it out.

Piano gets us started, and this builds out slowly in mellower ways. This eventually works out to a cool jazz arrangement that has a lot of emotion and melody.

Piano from the closing of the previous movement brings this in. It works forward as a classically oriented piano solo from there. Other instruments join after a while and we get more of a full jazz treatment. I really love the some of the melodies built into this. The bass solo is a nice touch, too. The piano solo that comes in later is on fire, too. It turns out to a Latin leaning movement that has some meaty guitar soloing as it approaches the end of the track, too.

A Latin groove is served up with European café styled instrumentation along with jazz vibes. That Latin groove remains, but the track transitions after a time toward more full jazz sounds to carry on.

Fast paced piano gets things underway here. The song works out from there with plenty of jazz charm. It’s another strong piece of music.

I love the mix of world music and jazz on this thing. The guitar soloing on this thing has some cool angular vibes and really elevates the track.

This is a powerhouse fusion romp. It has some killer guitar soloing and great energy. This thing is a real powerhouse that has so much magic in the mix.

The piano that gets us underway here has a bluesy angle to it. It grows out to a full treatment that really grooves. The flute on this track is so magical. The whole piece works well to bring it all back to Earth end.
