"Wesseltoft's reach has always been broad. But it just got broader with OK World, which brings the keyboardist - here, focusing solely on acoustic piano - together with a group of musical friends with whom he has become acquainted during his many travels across the globe. On this largely acoustic session (...) Wesseltoft is joined by players from Spain, India, Lebanon and Mozambique. OK World's ten original compositions come from all six members - individually, collectively and with the contributions of others including guest vocalists Georges Nehme (Libya) and Maryam Saleh (Egypt) ... The music of OK World possesses a rare and wonderful ability to bring a disparate group of musicians from a multitude of cultures together for a recording that's as deep as the human condition and as rich as the emotions that drive us all".
