“The Gift is a beautiful and lyrical exploration of surf, exotica, easy listening and world beat, The Gift is an honest and heartfelt offering to music lovers the world over: an invitation to forget about the worries and cares of the world; to sit back and relax”…
Na albumu se pojavljuju i sviraju Marc Ribot, Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle), Cyro Baptista (Herbie Hancock), Jamie Saft (Bobby Previte), Joey Baron (Masada) i još mnogi specijalni gosti. Ovo je album koji su Naked City fanovi dugo čekali. Strana John Zorna koja se retko čula do sada. John Zorn “samo za zaljubljene”… 😛
