John Cratchley Marc Cary has paid his dues.He has made great albums for years (for Downbeat to call him "rising star" of 2014 seems kind of weird...his star has risen for years!)
Anyway,this ensemble is an amalgam of two of his band projects and it is a beautiful workout. I'm a big fan of the Fender Rhodes and Marc delivers here.
It is a fusion (not a dirty word in my vocabulary) of Jazz,African and Indian sensibilities and works really well.
The album has that warm feel you used to get from Impulse! albums of the '70's and there is some stellar trumpet playing too...
It's kind of a cool (vibe) and hot (delivery) all at the same time.

about

Indigenous People is a group I started along with Tarus Mateen and Yarborough Charles Laws in 1998. We recorded several records in the span of 6 years.

In 2010, I decided to explore these same concepts with Focus Trio, which were started by Indigenous People, and became Cosmic Indigenous.

We brought some of our favorite musical contributors into the fold, to appear on this album and accomplish the sound rooted from Indigenous People.

Almost all of these songs are rooted in the concept of North Indian classical raga music, but with the melodic voice of Awa Sangho from Mali singing traditional Malian desert melodies that appear in both cultures in the same tonal set.
