Speed Balkan Boogie
As the name implies, this is a frantic ride, a transglobal breakdown and a jazz nighmare from Norway's most innovative band. Includes the remake of the classic Brubeck/Desmond "Take Five" as the Balkan-jazz masterpiece, "Take 5, Take 11."

The CD is a live recording of two concerts held by Farmers Market at Molde International Jazzfestival '94. Farmers Market brought with them four guest-musicians from Bulgaria of which two are singers in the world renown female choir "Lés Mystére Des Voix Bulgares", now known as "Angelite". The music on this CD takes the audience on a trip through the odds and even more odds of Bulgarian folkmusic. All is filtered through Farmers Market's own musical upbringing.
"For me personally, [this] CD is one of the greatest treasures to be found on this planet." Don Weeda, RootsWorld

Please note!
Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
