My  Review : 
This isn't my favorite disc from Dhafer Youssef but it's still pretty darn good. He manages to mix in a good selection of styles of jazz in here and some tracks he'll even toss in some catchy beats, like on Persona non grata. For the most part this is farsi or eastern style jazz and it's a great chill out album. Tracks like Eleventh Stone and Odd Poetry are prime examples and take you right to the Eastern side of the World into a beautiful memory forgotten. The tracks flow into one another as well making Dhafer a great producer because if I'm not watching the track list on the stereo sometimes I have no idea what track I'm actually listening to. Very well done and I recommend this to any World Jazz fan!
