DJABE & STEVE HACKETT: LIFE IS A JOURNEY - THE SARDINIA TAPES

A very polished and well sounding jam session, fruit of the encounter of both great artists, the hungarian jazz-fusion band and the english prog-rock iconic guitarist, a very fortunate occasion (derived from mutual interest and admiration), which took place in an unparalleled natural environment on the Mediterranean Sea.

Enjoyable as it is the result in its own terms, one should not expect here another record in the same vein of Steve's general work, but rather be prepared for his immersion in Djabe's sound, and his re-invention as a brand new fusion guitarist. Long relaxed jazzy compositions from the band, fantastic mesmerizing trumpet solos, and Mr. Hackett's new persona crossing a new boundary.
