Brand new studio album from guitar legend Steve Khan. Featuring Randy Brecker, Bob Mintzer, Jack DeJohnette, John Patitucci, Manolo Badrena. In a vein which seeks to create a blend between Jazz and Latin music, the trio was augmented by both Ralph Irizarry (timbal) and Roberto Quintero (conga & percussion), for unique interpretations of "I Mean You" (Thelonious Monk-Coleman Hawkins), and "Hymn Song" (McCoy Tyner). However, the date began with Steve's composition "El Faquir" which serves as another multi-cultural musical adventure, bringing together all the aforementioned players, plus spectacular performances from Bob Mintzer (bass clarinet), and Indian tabla master, Badal Roy, who was kind enough to bring along his wife, Geeta Roy to add the drone of the tamboura. Tracks: I Mean You / Mr & Mrs People / Face Value / El Faquir / You're My Girl / Blue For Ball / Have You Met Miss Jones / Luna Y Arena / Hymn Song.
