Blurring The Edges - Sombra
SBECD017 • Available on CD
October 2002
In Spanish, sombra means shade. In the early stages of preparation for this recording we assembled the core group under the shade of a sycamore tree, sheltered from the heat of the California sun. For a week we passed around ideas and phrases and came up with the arrangements. This collection of tunes represents the continuing story from our debut CD, Blurring The Edges. Following the band's original vision, musical styles and boundaries are blurred into a palette of sound that celebrates the music of the world - flamenco, jazz, Celtic, samba, pop, East Indian, and Latin. These are places we love and these are places we let our sound travel. Thanks for making this voyage with us.
