A beautiful 4th album released in 1981 by French guitarist Pierre Bensusan, born in Oran, Algeria. Most of the tracks feature only acoustic guitar and scat vocals, or purely solo acoustic performances — elegant, fluid playing with a refined sensibility reminiscent of Michael Hedges and Steve Tibbetts. Bensusan’s airy, free-flowing scat work drifts like the wind, adding a wonderfully soothing touch. The track B3, incorporating electric guitar and other instruments, offers a different yet equally stunning atmosphere. A truly underrated artist who deserves far greater recognition.
