Slices of eastern and jazz rock in a very strong ECM vein…<\/h4>\n

Lee Henderson – Art Rockin’<\/a><\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

The music is a mature lovely jazz fusion with slices of eastern and jazz rock in a very strong ECM vein, although the seven tunes range from a congruency not unlike Pat Metheny, Mark Isham, Kenny Wheeler, Dave Holland, and Enrico Rava, to name just a few. The ending will leave a restful smile on your face. And then you realize that it was the entire disc that had you feeling so good.<\/em><\/p>\n
