Reception

[edit]

The Globe and Mail noted that "there are the qualities of a folk music in the fundamental nature of Haden's work and the richness of Garbarek's saxes."[3]

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "The trio performs group originals and an obscurity during the picturesque and continually interesting release; this combination works well."[4]

One thought on “Cannabaceae

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
