With their eighth release, Pearl Django is broadening their musical horizons. The new CD features three guest artists and some exceptional new compositions by members of the group. The wonderful guitarist, Patrick Saussois, from Paris, joins Pearl Django on three tracks and has contributed an original tune to the mix. One of Seattle's best drummers, Mark Ivester is found on one cut of the previous CD, but is truly featured on five tracks of the new CD. Mark's drumming kicks the energy up a a few notches. And accordionist, David Lange, who can be heard on previous Pearl Django CDs, contributes some of his most tasteful playing ever.
