Artist Info: Orange Winds

Orange Winds' is a trio (Achim Goettert tenor saxophone; Andrea Goettert baritone saxophone; Charles Blackledge on percussion) which makes a loud, joyous noise, one that will appeal to fans of jazz and world music.

A theme of winds blows them from Africa to the Caribbean to Mexico to Asia. All along the way, the reeds and flutes (including some guest fluting by Dieter Weberpals) create catchy melodies that dance lightly over Blackledge's deft world percussion. This stripped-down world jazz will make your ears smile. [read more...]
