O’s Notes: Lawson doles up a serving of thirteen new smooth flamenco selections as he combines forces with an all-star team of musicians. Co-producers Dominic Camardella (p, B3) and Shabin Shabida (g), guest artists Horacio “El Negro” Hernandez (d), Airto Moreira (perc, vocals) and Flora Purim (vocals) are among the stellar cast. The resulting musical collage is an ‘epic World Music odyssey’ as it is descried in the liner notes. Rollins contributes an excellent performance on guitar. Highlights are “Return to Rio”, “Havana Heat” and “Cape Town Sky”.
