AGHARTA

Agharta's one and only album is terrific and essential for any jazz lovers out there... Veniot's flute and saxophone soloing is outright brilliant, leaving us with near perfection when combined with Mignault's elegant keyboard playing, Trudel's extremely creative bass lines, and Séguin's masterful drum work.

As someone who puts prog above any other genre, with classical and jazz in second and third, this album was the perfect jazz/prog fusion I've always been looking for. As a composer and bass/flute/guitar/keyboards player who pays too much attention to detail, I can say this album can be listened to over and over and for at least several lifetimes without getting boring.

The melodies are beautiful, the rhythms precise...It might not be everyone's taste, but for anyone who loves Jazz, this has to be one of the best works out there.
