An Astonishing Album

"This is one of the best -- and most under-noticed -- releases of the last five years. Eubanks, Cinelu, and the sublime Dave Holland achieve Vulcan mind-meld status as an ensemble on this spirited, swinging collection of acoustic guitar, bass, and percussion grooves. If you're a fan of albums like Tim Sparks' luminous "Tanz" on the Tzaddik label, you must get this. If you're a Holland enthusiast, you will supremely dig Holland's super-muscular virtuosity here. If you know nothing about Eubanks other than his "Tonight Show" gig (I mean, whatever), prepare to be astounded by his fine taste, depth, and fluid imagination.This is a superb record!"

Artistically Phenominal

"After first listening to this on a bootleg tape in early 1998, I new I had to find it on CD and add it to my collection! World Trio (with Kevin Eubanks from the tonight show) along with Holland and Cinelu put together an amazing collection of very spiritual and soothing music. I enjoy putting it on while reading a book, taking a nap, doing yoga, or driving in traffic. It is very intense, but relaxing. You can really appreciate what these 3 artists can do! Enjoy!"

Acoustic delight!!!!

"It's amazing what kind of perfect alchemy these three musicians can create with "simple" instruments .... such as percussions, double bass and an acoustic guitar. Be prepared, the music contained in this album has extraordinary deepness, complexity, armony, balance. Ok moneys are important fame is important, but why the hell Kevin Eubanks doesn't dedicate himself completely to serious music (as the one presented here)? My God, he could be remembered as one of the 3/4 more talented guitarist in the jazz history!! Hope he will record more in the future!! No words for Holland and Cinelu. How can you describe perfection?"
