Panorama, out
of Germany, is a now-defunct music aggregation which featured Jürgen
Lesker on steelpan. Though the band itself is no more, Lesker has
continued on with his composing and playing, performing as part of a
quintet called Bima. The group Panorama did record their
ground-breaking musical works, one compilation being a CD called
Silvery Blossoms.
A track from that CD -
"Cairo Cats" is first up
on this edition of Cool Steel.
