I bought this album after seeing Nigel on breakfast TV and after hearing Riverman sung by Boy George, which is beautiful. Loved the jazzy, Polish influences which make for an excellant listening experience.East Meets East Enjoyed Shhh so much I bought East meets East too!!
I really like this album. It is a good mix of jazzy and bluesy and bits of this and that! To purists it might not be just what they want but, if you enjoy the way Nigel interacts with other musicians and like to hear them going with the flow, you'll enjoy this.
An interesting combination of instruments and sounds. I particularly enjoyed the sax playing of Tomasz Grzegorski and of course Kennedy on violin is fantastic.. A singer from another era/genre, Boy George is an absolute revelation on the haunting, Nick Drake song, 'River Man'.
The recording may not appeal to the older generation of jazz fans, of whom am one, but I really liked it and would recommend.
