Of his guitar approach, leader Pete Prown notes, "Besides the traditional acoustic and electric guitars that we play on the album, I sometimes use guitar synthesizers at times to create unique sounds," he adds. "Listen to 'Cloudburst,' where the main solo features acoustic guitar and acoustic piano in perfect unison.

The CD also features master acoustic-fingerstyle guitarist, Rich Maloof, who contributes great solos to "Erhu" and "China Rose," among others. Various tracks also feature the talents of bassist Brett Bottomley, percussionist John Gannon and keyboardist Steve Puglia.

For Prown's *blistering* electric-guitar solos, cue up "Green Mountains" or the pulsating groove of "Ashes of the Pagoda."
