It doesn't get much better than this in terms of flow and mellow joyfulness. It only takes two but what a pairing. Herbie Hancock guitarist and vocalist Lionel Loueke in magnificent form here with Avishai Cohen drummer Ziv Ravitz together in Switzerland last year. Loueke's vocal on 'Vi Gnin' is meltingly beautiful.
Within This Stone includes a head bobbing new arrangement of 'Aziza's Dance' a piece of Loueke's relayed so funkily with Dave Holland, Chris Potter and Eric Harland on their 2016 Dare2 album Aziza.
