Annabellle Charmer

Snake Charmer is a swedish band formed by bassplayer Per Stadin (Silver Mountain) in 1991 with drummer Anders Johansson (Hammerfall, Yngwie Malmsteen), guitarist Jörg Fischer (Accept) and Pete Sandberg (Alien, Madison, Midnight Sun) on vocals the band was complete. After a while Jörg decided to continue with his own band, so they finally found Sven Cirnski as guitar replacement. The music goes in the AOR vein mixed with traditional Hard Rock and can be compaired with Bands like Alien, Madison and Co. Nice rockers and heartful ballads. The record ends with a very good version of Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby".

As usual, bassist Charles Fambrough assembled an impressive all-star group for this CD. Such players as altoist Kenny Garrett, Grover Washington, Jr. (on soprano), trumpeter Roy Hargrove, pianist Kenny Kirkland and even pianist Abdullah Ibrahim (making a rare appearance as a sideman for his own "Beautiful Love") are heard from, along with a few overlapping rhythm sections.
