Review

Newest from WorldWind is this community of original songs of love and social concerns from peripatetic songsmith James Durst, ranging from seasoned reflections on the human condition to the freshest of his observations on the current political landscape. Some whimsical, others poignant, all skillfully crafted with James's unmatched affection for words and melody; and delivered with a light and hopeful heart and a twinkling eye. The songs are nimbly supported by such gifted musicians as Rock and Roll Hall of Famer John Sebastian and folk favorite Reggie Harris (on Not Another Gun), drummer/percussionists Greg Ellis and Debra Dobkin, Beach Boys guitarist/vocalist Scott Totten, veteran bassists and longtime friends Simeon Pillich and David Jackson (who also doubles on accordion for the title cut, Surprisium), jazz vocalist Melba Joyce (on I Am A Seed of Peace), world-class oudist John Bilezikjian (on This Change Is Everything), Jamaican drummer/vocalist Maroghini (on Have A Friend), L.A. lap steel virtuoso Greg Leisz (on Make Believe), keyboard magician Bob Malone (piano on Happen This Way, What If...?, & Come To Me, and accordion on La Chanson de Massage), Argentinean classical guitarist Claudio Ragazzi (on Snow) and new age keyboardist Laurie Z (on La Chanson de Massage & Come To Me). And More!
