This album was inspired by a dream I had about everyone on earth being picked up and dropped in another spot.  Everything would have to change!  Architecture, language, food.. It would all be different.  When we assemble something larger from a set of diverse parts, good things happen.  This project featured my core quintet "City People" along with a small chamber orchestra, ethnic percussion and pop singer Mario Jose.
