Product Description

Down Beat (12/96, pp.62-63) - 3 Stars (out of 5) - "...Composed from hours of improvisations and scored for orchestra with improvising soloists, this ambitious, episodic work attempts to link the diverse cultures joined by the Danube River....Like a river, the piece wanders and turns, changing its speed and direction....this is not a symphonic Weather Report album..."
JazzTimes (11/96, p.106) - "...His writing has the richness and sweep of the late Romantic and early 20th Century orchestral traditions and the rhythmic urgencies of jazz and the jazz-rock hybrid he helped to develop with Miles Davis and Weather Report..."
