Album Notes & Community Reviews

Highlighting his exceptional prowess as a flautist and composer, 'Cous Cous' is a rich, highly rhythmic foray into European jazz fusion. The arrangements masterfully incorporate elements of deep funk and progressive rock, utilizing electric keyboards and driving percussion to build a highly cinematic soundscape. The album remains a highly respected touchstone of early seventies Scandinavian jazz-rock crossover.
