Mix of all blends of jazz from mainstream acoustic to electronic and asid. Album built very and very intresting like a jazz party. Exactly at the same time came out on ECM label Molvaer Nils Petter "Khmer". Exceptional musicmanship and realy the music of 23rd century. Revolutional blend of Miles Davis-ish trumpet and ambient.

I will go out on a limb and say that he is probably the most talented musician playing in the field today. It's like impossible for the guy to play an unmelodic note.
