• JOURNEY WITH THE SUN invokes a plethora of musical styles. From Turkey to Ireland, West Africa to Romania, Armenia to The United States, this album contains musical spices from many different countries.
• Long time Earth Band members Paul Halley (piano) and Eugene Friesen (cello) offer familiar atmospherics. However, Mickey Hart (Grateful Dead drummer) and Davy Spillane (Riverdance uilleann piper) add new color to the bands sound. Harts percussive acumen and Spillanes piping skills are especially effective on the Celtic pieces "Last Oasis" and "Land of the Pipers." Nonetheless, the albums brightest star is singer and percussionist Arto Tuncboyaciyan. Using a polyglot of languages, Tuncboyaciyan soliloquizes beautifully over the euphoric "Caravan of Dawn" and the mournful "Oror Bubrik." Paul Winters own soprano saxophone adds further dimension to this music. His playing on "Mountain Wedding" is particularly inspired in its mixing of Balkan folk music with light jazz. Overall, JOURNEY WITH THE SUN is more than just a cultural experiment; it encourages listeners to contemplate music from a deeper, more universal perspective.
