This project, which is a collaboration with Israeli saxophonist Gilad AtzmonFind albums by this artist and violinist Ros StephenFind albums by this artist (both are credited equally with Wyatt as the album´s creators), presents a series of original composition as well as re-works of Jazz standards, exquisitely arranged, richly orchestrated and beautifully performed by the participating musicians, which include among others bassist Richard PryceFind albums by this artist and Stephen´s Sigamos String QuartetFind albums by this artist. This is a wonderfully weird music, brilliant and completely unpredictable, changing moods, tempi, colors and musical influences constantly. From Middle Eastern to Celtic, from Canterbury to Klezmer to Chamber, everything goes, but all in excellent form and taste. A true masterpiece of contemporary music, beyond genres, classification and time… What more need I say?
