A blending of world music motifs with themes from India and modern jazz motifs makes ICON into a refreshingly original CD collection, one you will want for your world music collection. Highly eclectic and imaginative, composer Jonas Hellborg paves the way for new jazz coming out of India. There are 4 long and complex songs. They are: "Anchor," 15:04. "Mirror," 23:20. "Vehicle," 16:10. "Escape," 4:46. Each song will intrigue the jazz listener. This is quality, topnotch work, put together in an entertaining manner. ICON is highly recommended. "Mirror" is one of the most original world music songs to come along in some time, and it will enchant its listeners with its scope of musical ideas.
