Editorial Reviews

From the Artist

For over five years, Peter Maund, Moses Sedler and Victor Spiegel have been getting together to make the most remarkable music: a blending of jazz, classical, Middle Eastern and Indian music. Strange modes, odd rhythms, fiery melodies unite into world fusion chamber music. It is the experience and backgrounds of these three accomplished musicians that illustrate the exotic sound of this long-awaited album. The group is currently performing in the San Francisco Bay Area, and can be heard nationally on the Public Radio International program Echoes.

Product Description

This is music that invokes dreams, then lifts your heart to seek the source of such visions. Listening to Darvish is like encountering long, lost, dear friends returned from journeys to exotic countries, changed... and changing you as you listen to their tales. Every song is a postcard from the Beloved, equally flavored by modern jazz rhythms, Middle Eastern melodies, and percussion. Upbeat urban jazz suddenly shifts and you are whirled like a dervish, your heart spinning. Darvish's music asks your spirit questions, then it answers with the sounds of searching, discovery, delight, and ultimately peace.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely mesmerizing!, October 8, 2002

I was stunned! Someone in Hollywood should make a movie based on this as the soundtrack! Just a flowing collage of landscape scenes, no actors, just life accompanied by the music... like the pictures it created in my head as I listened

This Darvish album evokes the spirit of the Orient; lush, rich, humid and provocatively sensual... What an excellent body of work! This is one CD that I must have in my personal collection - and I listen to a LOT of music in the course of my week! Thank you for a most enjoyable morning!
