An album of beautiful tunes in a mix of African Highlife, Pop, Ethnic and European Improvised music. The appearance of two tenors creates a very unique sound that’s remarkably warm and comforting. Even the tunes to which more horns are added remain clearly within the sound’s character Quadrant has established over last years. Recorded and mixed in 1998 it was released in 1999 on EWM Records. Several of these compositions have become classics over time because a number of groups have been playing these tunes for years since this release. Still ear catchers to the day…
