Composer and keyboardist Doug McKeehan teams up with violinist T. Bruce Bowers and Jack Dorsey/d, Myron Dove-Aaron Germain/b as well as guests on strings and vocals for a fragrant collection of fusion fancies. Guest violinists include Mads Tolling, Jim Hurley and Matt Szemela for extra textures on the 5/4 pulsed “11th Hour”, dreamy “Little Brother” and funky “Running on MT”. Kate Lamont and Riffat Sultana add vocals to the folksy pop of “Blessed Are The Peacemakers” and layers the pretty “Humminbird”. McKeehan’s piano delivers a sensuous texture to the tango’d “Amira” and a swing to “First Impressions”. Glistening and glowing originals.
