Drift Up To Space is AMBIANCE’s second album released in 1980 on Da Mon Records, Los Angeles. Sublime from the beginning to the end, it has become a sought-after collector’s item. Some of the best fusion on record!
"Influenced by the modal jazz of John Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, McCoy Tyner and Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Ambiance was an excellent but little known post-bop group that was active in Los Angeles in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Ambiance reflected the spiritual outlook of its founder and leader Daoud Abubakar Balewa, a saxophonist/flutist who also played African and Latin percussion and was heavily influenced by world music."
