Inspired by jam sessions that performer Leni Stern held with two Malian musician friends, Sabani is an instrumental album that draws upon the qualities of the ngoni, a stringed instrument distantly ancestral to the banjo. Discovering the ngoni's qualities as "the ultimate blues instrument", Stern calls forth her love of jazz, blues, and learning from her West African friends. Sabani is a wonderful cross-cultural expression, highly recommended. 02/29/12
