Here’s a uniquely impressionistic and creative debut album with the mix of harpist Motoshi Kosako, fretless bassist Michael Manring and percussionist/tablaist Chris Garcia on eight originals, the band’s name is derived from the first letter’s of each member’s last name, reflecting the unity and subtle cohesion of the album itself. . Kosako’s harp creates Bodhi tree reflections and mysticisms that work well with Manring’s electric bass on “Bailaora” and “Naked Wonder” while hints of vintage Pat Metheny are observed on the wondrous “Walking Into Open Land” as the three veer off and then coalesce in a delightful fashion. Likewise, “Alcyon” flows like a gentle stream, coaxed along by Garcia’s fingers. The strings get dainty like morning dew droplets on the evocative 11 minute opus “Hymn and Prelude-Distant Land” that makes you feel as if you’re on a reflective stroll, with some rich echoes created by Manring on the spacious and impressionistic “Foxing Hour” comes off like musical conversations of the soul. Cherry blossoms of sound.
