Spirit and Spice Review – Flat out wonderful

George — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 17:40:15 +0000

GEORGE BROOKS SUMMIT/Spirit and Spice: The thing you’re going to like most about this set is that it’s completely nuts. A solid jazzbo with free jazz leanings and world beat interests that isn’t afraid to share the spotlight with a bunch of game raising players, Brooks brings the 60s into the 10s with a smoking world/groove date that would find Paul Horn and Paul Winter running for cover if you blasted it at them. Genre twisting and groovealicious, this is visceral jazz for the over educated who won’t be able to stop themselves from bobbing their heads and jimmying their legs. FLAT OUT WONDERFUL THROUGHOUT.

Just returned from Muscat, Oman where I had the pleasure of performing with a stellar group of extraordinary musicians.
The event was hosted by Bank Sarasen Alpen who provided us this rare opportunity to bring together such a talented group from Hungary, India, Iran, Germany. Liberia, Oman and the USA. Check out these photos.

I am heading to Muscat on Monday for the third is a series of “Global Fusion” concerts supported by the Dubai based Sarasin Alpen Bank. This concert on March 4th will feature India’s master percussionist and founding member of Shakti, Vikku Vinayakram.

Joining us from India is sitarist Niladri Kumar who was featured on my first Summit recording and will also appear my my next CD scheduled for release this spring as well as Bollywood percussion superstar A. Sivamani. There will also be appearances by Hungarian violinist, Zoltan Lantos and the Ensemble Shanbehzadeh from Iran. Hope to post some photos on my return.
