About the Artist
Muse Stew plays original compositions that combine Jazz traditions with Afro-Latin, Afro-Brazilian, and West African rhythms to create a unique musical expression. Muse Stew has been performing in the Boston area since the early 90's. The name derives from its early gigs working with poetry and spoken word set to music. It has evolved over the years and now focuses on original compositions by bassist and founder Scott Samenfeld along with other band members contributions.

Product Description
Crossings was recorded on October 26, 1996. It features compositions by Scott Samenfeld, the band's bassist and founder. The title cut "Crossings" was written to feature a Senegalese drumming ensemble. It paints a picture of a caravan crossing the desert, stopping at an oasis, and moving on into the distance. It features djembe and junjun (drums from West Africa) and a musette solo (a double reed from Niger) that evokes the colors of the desert oasis. The compositions on this CD were written between the early 70's and the mid-90's. They are all timeless and still remain fresh today.
