Album Notes & Community Reviews

The incredibly prolific guitarist curates a highly diverse, international ensemble for this deeply melodic, cross-cultural exploration. 'The Intercontinentals' masterfully weaves traditional Malian desert blues and Arabic folk music with his signature Americana-inflected jazz improvisations, resulting in a profoundly peaceful, uplifting acoustic experience.
