This 1989 album by Greek-American guitarist Nana Simopoulos, who previously released the classic Wings and Airfeaturing Don Cherry and Nana Vasconcelos, is a masterpiece of new-age contemporary jazz infused with elements of world music, particularly from Africa. Tracks A1 and A2 offer expansive, gentle ethnic fusion with a soft, transparent sound that unfolds gracefully. Track B1 stands out with a solid groove combining slap bass, tabla-driven beats, and the contrasting tones of classical guitar and guitar synthesizer, creating a vibrant ethnic crossover feel.
A1: Don to Earth
A2: Quetico
