Anthony Michael Peterson CD discography From the Hendrix-in-a-fez riff of "Bania" to the fuzz-box nirvana of "Challaban," Trance asserts psychedelic sovereignty over Moroccan sensibilities that hippie hash-heads once claimed as their own music base.

Highly rhythmic, songs like "Allah," "Chabakouni 1" and "Danya Balmat" emphasize hypnotic chanting and call-and-response techniques and have a strongly spiritual orientation. Hakmoun obviously loves improvisation and spontaneity, which is one of the main reasons he's attracted the attention of jazz artists like singer Dee Dee Bridgewater and the late Don Cherry (who is heard on the opener "Live" playing the melodica instead of his usual trumpet).
