专辑简介

"A Marvellous New Album from Stan Z and his international trans-global players - I love this group! No-one would think this collaboration takes place at such great distances apart - from the 6/8 sitar riff at the start of 'Destinations' - the title track - I am reminded of so much good music that I don't know where to start - the flute harmonies remind me of the Brecker Brothers - and soon we are into a great rolling 5/4 groove which supports freewheeling improvisations from everyone in the group - the polyphonic dialogue has a rapturous and sublime mood to it which reminds my of John Coltrane's spiritual jazz.

'Equilibrium' is just that - a track of poise and balance - delicately mixing ballad like sensitivity with forceful brass section lines - everyone is listening extremely hard and playing the spaces beautifully - interjecting skilful economical phrases in a continuous group dialogue - outstanding trumpet work at the end of this track - all in all, this is going to be another firm favourite with those who wisely took the step to get into the first Kazhargan World album - Stan Z's playing is supportive and understated throughout - stepping forward whenever necessary - I particularly like the ability he has to make a chordal figure appear like the Sun coming out from behind the clouds. Outstanding playing from all concerned - recommended listening." © Ben Williams
