Dreamworld

ufo_dk What a collection of tracks. Very cool ethno-jazz from the 90's featuring future star Richard Bona on bass in an exciting French Danish joint venture. The tunes are very melodic & a few also feature humorous elements. Most tracks are quartet with Mariane Bitran on flute & Simon Spang-Hanssen on various saxes. Favorite track: Central Earth.
