This 1989 album is by Nana Simopoulos, a Greek-American female guitarist who also released the acclaimed album "Wings and Air" featuring Don Cherry and Nana Vasconcelos. It's a masterpiece that showcases new age contemporary jazz, heavily influenced by world music. Highlights include A1/A2, a majestic ethnic fusion that unfolds gently with a transparent, expansive sound, and B1, an ethnic crossover brimming with groove, featuring a solid beat from slap bass and tabla, and a wonderful contrast between classical guitar and guitar synthesizer.
A1: Don to Earth
B1: Logarhythm
