The guitarist and sitar player Daniel Garbin is joined by Camila Cortina Bello, Scott Litroff, Eddy Khaimovich and Brian Woodruff for these 7 originals that are never short on grooves.
The title track resides in the lead off spot and showcases the dense sitar bouts amid Bello’s playful keys and Woodruff’s skilled drumming in the melodic climate, and “Simi’s Bossa” follows with Khaimovich’s animated bass amid the radiant guitar.
In the middle, “Anomisericordo” is a busy and meticulous album highlight that showcases the frisky keys, bouncy bass and Litroff’s animated sax playing, while “DSD” is full of elegance and grace thanks to the warm rhythm section, rich sax and fluid guitar playing.
The quick listen exits with “Into The Sunset”, where rhythm and grooves don’t disappoint for the timeless jazz and world music nods that are atmospheric.
A very diverse effort, we’re treated to haunting moments, Afro-Cuban influences and well timed solos that suit the harmonics and colorful vision.
Travels well with: Jake Hertzog- Ozark Concerto; Jae Sinnett- The Blur The Lines Project
