Πίσω στους μουσικούς του Απρίλη με τον Jan Hammer (γνωστό περισσότερο για τη μουσική επένδυση του Miami Vice και τη συμμετοχή στους Mahavishnu Orchestra) και το magnum opus του, The First Seven Days, εμπνευσμένο απ’ το βιβλίο της Γένεσης. Απ’ αυτό ακούμε τρία απσπάσματα. Το άλμπουμ είναι βασισμένο στα keyboards και τα περιστασιακά ντραμς του συνθέτη. Guests εδώ είναι οι David Earl Johnson – κρουστά, Steven Kindler – βιολί, μέλη στη συνέχεια του Jan Hammer Group.

Back to April born musicians with Jan Hammer (mostly known for writing the score for Miami Vice and participating in Mahavishnu Orchestra) and his magnum opus, The First Seven Days, inspired by the book of Genesis. From this we hear three excerpts. The album is based on the composer’s keyboards and occasional drums. Guests here are David Earl Johnson – percussion, Steven Kindler – violin, members afterwards of Jan Hammer Group.

* For my friends who didn’t know, or first timers here, Oannes [aka Socratis Papahatzis] is my husband, partner in life and music and the one with my undying admiration. Together we have a band MK-O [the music of Marina Kanavaki & Oannes]. So, it’s my pleasure to share with you his [and sometimes mine] musical selections. • Do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!
