Led from the bass guitar by stellar classical player the Sri Lanka born Londoner Radhika de Saram the always reliably listenable-to bebop inspired saxist Zhenya Strigalev plays an important role in fanning out the fusions of sound here which has a sprawling energy to it. Compositions are de Saram's own. You really don't know what is going to happen next whether it is mournful explorations on a track like 'Promise' or a guitar reverie as provided by Rodion Grischenko on 'Old Cane Chair' while the Indojazz flavours found on 'Adalar' are also part of a big palette of ideas flung generously around.
