A must-have

"I stumbled across this CD in the listening room of a snooty high end Hi-Fi audio store. It's pure magic. How in the world this artist is not more widely known is hard to understand. The production is superb - if you like Hi-Fi, this CD would truly let your system show its stuff. A true "Must Have"."
Really not enough stars for this one!

"Definitely one of my top 10 best jazz/fusion/world cd's I have ever heard. I loved Mino's work with Weather Report so when I saw a solo CD in the store I bought without even a listen.
Mino plays over a dozen instruments himself while bringing in guitarist Mitch Stein and bassist Richard Bona to spice up his own creative endeavors. Every song brings a different flavor...be it jazz, mediterranean, african-cuban, eastern, pop.
His voice is haunting and distinctive and when he sings in French and then English it gives the western listener a chance to connect on a deeper level with the lyrics.
I can only hope that Mino is creating a new CD even as I write this!"
