Jazz Song Review: Dawn by Build An Ark [5/5]

[Jazz] Dawn by Build An Ark
From the album Dawn.
What an amazing Jazz song Dawn is! A delicious recipe where Jazz is the main element, mixing it with amazing tribal sounds that take their roots in Africa thanks to a great musical sensitiveness. With about thirty musicians, Build An Ark is more of a project than your usual Jazz band. Loaded with just the right dose of spirituality and mysticism, this new album embodies peace messages all over. Almost all the songs are top-notch but Dawn really stands out with this subtle intertwinement of Jazz and African percussions. Too bad the album is so short.
Note to the eMusic subscribers out there: Peace With Every Step, Build An Ark's previous album, is available for download. I'm currently listening to it and so far I enjoy it as much as I enjoyed Dawn.
