Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded in Milan by the seasoned Arkestra, 'Mayan Temples' features a surprisingly structured and elegant take on big band swing traditions. While retaining their signature cosmic philosophy, the ensemble focuses heavily on tight orchestration and accessible rhythmic grooves.
