Full disclosure: I am a friend of the artist. But see for yourself how lovely the tunes are on this finely wrought CD. The overall quality of the musicians and the arrangements is stellar, and the diverse sounds are unified by the incredible speed, rich timbre, and fluidity of Rollins's guitar playing. The haunting title track is destined to be a classic, and I am also partial to the Arabic flavor of New World Raga, but the whole CD is a joy to the ears!
