2010 release. A nicely weird but groovy collection of 13 different pieces, all written and performed by drummer/composer/producer/field recordist Michael Baird. An ambient Afro-jazzy meltdown, original down to its inner core. Voodoo-jazz for all occasions. An idiosyncratic, avantgardistic mix of African rhythms, European jazz and pop. With some help from friends Layba Diawara (GUI) (balafon), Rick van Heerden (ZIM) (alto sax), Sophie de Vries (NL) (vocals), Marianne Noordink (NL) (nay), Cherry Wijdenbosch (SUR) (vocals), and Jasper le Clercq (NL) (violin). Housed in a 6-page digipak.
