First volume of epic 12 volume contemporary retelling of The 1001 Nights by jazz, latin and rock musicians in New York.
"Outrageously evocative [it] is unlike anything else in the sonic universe... The effect is erotic, obscene, streetwise and jazz-like. Propelled by da riddum, Hanrahan's words groove like the hottest, wildest saxophone you could ever imagine. Wanna dance!"
- Joe Vanderford, Independent Weekly
".the soundtrack is a cross-rhythmic, cross cultural swirl, dizzy with ideas. It's about the music itself, not anyone's image of the other."
- Jon Pareles, New York Times
".Labyrinths within tales, how the heart spins it's song."
- Jason Weiss, Latin American Literature and Arts
