On his long-awaited 1994 release (his sixth album), Pierre Bensusan presents a work of mature beauty, depth, and variety. Wu Wei is a sometimes Gershwinesque collection of five instrumentals and Four vocals with French & English lyrics + bonus tracks. There's North African, jazz, new age, pop and folk flavours, served up to create the classical Bensusan mix of modern harmonies, songs, jazz brains and this unique fingerstylist's touch.
