Modern vibes/marimba, - beautifully melancholic

"A highly recommendable collaboration of vibraphone and marimba plus cello on a number of pieces. The first title sets the scene, a piece by Ralph Towner and very intimate and beautifully melancholic. The children's songs by Chick Corea are ideal for this duo as the originals were arranged for solo piano, adding an extra timbre to the sound.



If you love the sound, resonance of the vibes you'll be impressed by this record. I personally come from a Bebop background, love Milt Jackson and the younger Joe Locke but the Aisha Duo with their more modern, intellectual approach are ready to take their place between Oregon and Lionel Hampton!"

New Age? Jazz? The best of both!

"You'll be listenting to a completely unusual combination of sounds - the vibes and mirimba, accompanied at spots by cello and one or two other instruments playing melodies (it's hard to describe them as songs) that make for truly enjoyable listing. The music will also serve well as background for those rmore intimate, elaxing moments. Buy it. You'll love it."

Excellent mood music

"This music is great if you are trying to study, doing a bit of reading before bed, or just wanting pleasant background music on a rainy afternoon."
