Jasmine on a Night in July

First full-length album from the Brooklyn experimental trio Scree. Jasmine on a Night in July features a collection music that draws on the work of the great Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish "The sky opened a window for me. I looked and found nothing save myself outside itself, as it has always been, and my desert-haunted visions. …. There is no tomorrow in this desert, save what we saw yesterday, so let me brandish my ode to break the cycle of time, and let there be beautiful days! How much past tomorrow holds." ~~~~~

Falling somewhere between Bill Frisell’s basement and the Mediterranean Sea, the debut from this instrumental Brooklyn trio marks a promising arrival.
