"Multi award-winning composer Shepherd's seventh album and first on vinyl, with sleeve notes from Percy Mabandu. Compositions explored on this long-awaited release include new articulations of well-liked familiar melodies like 'For Keith', 'Desert Monk', 'Sweet Zim Suite' and 'Cry of the Lonely', along with improvised pieces 'Zikr', and 'Desert Monk'. Mastered and cut for vinyl by Frank Merritt at The Carvery with heavyweight 180 gram vinyl pressed at Pallas in Germany." "Shepherd embodies much of South Africa's piano tradition with visionary clarity. More than his own ingenuity, he holds up an appreciation of the richness of a shared musical inheritance. This must be underscored by an understanding that all pianists, in fact all artists of real commitment, have a wish to be distinctive, along with a real rootedness. The selection of tunes treated here, shores this up about Shepherd. It also points to a deeper, loftier revelation: jazz, and creativity as the ultimate articulations of human hope." --Percy Mabandu, from sleeve notes.
