A passionate and personal album, more or less a piano only instrumental work that will attract all kinds of music lovers from jazz, classical music, avantgarde and progressive rock. Excellent performance with a great flow in the composition and breathtaking improvisations. Some kind of jazz version of Keith Emerson. Stanley Cowell, born in 1941, is a living legend as jazz pianist and his skills can be witnessed on his 1974 solo effort ,Musa: Ancestral streams". This record already fetches high prices as original pressing, so here we have a fine reissue on EVERLAND, making it available to a wider audience again and not only to the die hard collectors. All fans of swirling piano work will find joy in this piece of art, which is in fact far from being a simple pop album. This is true jazz music with an improvisational spirit but also with solid compositions. This could have been the soundtrack for an imaginary movie. Outstanding!
