Collin Walcott's second album is truly of a superior quality; if his interesting "Cloud Dance" has shown the world what a sitar can do in the jazz emisphere, this pushes things even further. A wonderful desert pearl, nearly flawless modern jazz recording. Someday this will be remembered as a masterpiece. Walcott and Cherry created a near perfect this album called Grazing Dreams for ECM which perfectly fused elements of ethnic music with the harmonies and structural sense of jazz.
