“New Gems” was John’s first all acoustic album and it marked a new direction involving a blend of world music and jazz. The exiting mix of 12-string guitar, cello, udu (a percussion instrument made of clay) was a new and different sound. Acoustic Sense has intrigued many audiences with its picturesque atmosphere, paired with strong rhythms. Our guest on this album, the Serbian accordionist Lelo Nika, delivers a strong contribution.

“This formation that John Sund has come up with in Acoustic Sense: Europe (guitars, accordion, cello, bass) Cuba (bass) and Ghana (percussion) is just as rich on facets as the music itself.”
