Score: 77
O’s Notes: Bassist, composer Santi Debriano assembles Arkestra Bembe including Andrea Brachfeld (fl), TK Blue (a-sax), Robby Ameen (d) and several other talented musicians for Ashanti. He leaves room for strong bass solos as on “Imaginary Guinea”. We enjoyed the relaxed groove on “Till Then”, “Spunky” featuring Ray Sero (b-sax), Emile Turner (t), and Brachfeld, also the swinging “Basilar”.
