Cover text

In the cover text Zawinul wrote:

“The compositions on this CD are my impressions of many peoples and places that I have visited, their moods, their songs, their laughs, their dances, the sights and sounds of everyday life as I saw them or imagined them as I toured the world. You don't want to take part in this global celebration. "
