Review Text
Dreaming Spirits is a world jazz group led by Grammy Award winning bassist Mark Egan and tabla player/percussionist Arjun Bruggeman and special guest guitarist Shane Theriot. This audiophile recording features 14 original instrumental compositions for a total of 70 plus minutes exploring multi-dimensional ambient grooves and masterful improvisations from some of the most influential contemporary improvising musicians. Arjun and Mark were inspired to this project since meeting in 2008 while playing with Krishna Das. Guitar wizard Shane Theriot completed the chemistry for the trio. Fans of John McLaughlins's Shakti will feel at home with this dynamic recording, as well as listeners of jazz, fusion, blues, rock, yoga and Kirtan music.
