Recorded and produced entirely by Adam Good, a New York based musician (bass player for HARMONIA, guitarist in NIKITOV and SIDESHOW) fascinated by Eastern European music and in particular "Izvorno" (folk music) of Macedonia. Eastern melodies accompanied by meditative drones with quirky "odd meter" rhythms. Every track features Adam and special guests on folk instruments playing familiar traditional tunes (Pajdushko, Mashkato, Baba Dzhurdzha, Rajkos, Topansko) and original melodies in rhythms of the region (Beranche, Chochek, Ruchenitsa). Adam Good - tambura, kaval Matt Moran - tupan, dumbek Jerry Kisslinger - tupan Timothy Quigley - dumbek, def Jeff Fine - kaval Jodi Hewat - vocals Ramy al Aasar - dumbek "Good is good at what he does, playing quick dance tunes on tambura with an intricate style -- the music goes well with wine. Dances is a sure bet for Balkan dancers out for a light, rapid chochek, or for Markos Vamvakaris or Andy Irvine enthusiasts, or anyone else, for that matter, who wants to hear good music in uneven meter!" -- Judith Gennett (www.greenmanreview.com) Check out the artist's website: http://www.adamgood.com Track List: 1.
