This
is a world jazz fusion group lead by the lovely Elektra Kurtis (violin)
& I assume the music on this recording is based on her vision since
everything was written by her. Anyway, there's a wealth of talented
musicians on this recording, all from various cultural backrounds &
I believe that diversity helps to give the music a great deal of flavor.
This mostly instrumental album has a lot of uptempo beats and there's
some groove to it as well. I'm not quite sure if I understand what this
band is all about. But, I do enjoy this release, which clocks in at
almost an hour. The players are all well versed in their instruments
and I feel that you can sense that by listening to this release. For
something different and highly enjoyable, Ensemble Elektra has your
ticket to ride!
