Album Notes & Community Reviews

The acoustic quartet continued to refine their delicate, borderless improvisational style on 'Winter Light'. The integration of sitar and tabla within distinctly Western classical and jazz structures creates an evocative, profoundly textured soundscape that avoids the clich茅s of typical 1970s world fusion.
