Eda's new recording CIRCLE OF SPARKS will be released January 2011


Here are nine songs that resonate deeply with personal reflections of the mysterious, joyful, sensuous, and challenging nature of the journey, all expressed with the elegant and evocative songwriting and vocals of Eda Maxym.  Blending genres and musical traditions, Maxym invites the listener on a numinous ride, along with the Imagination Club, a gathering of stellar Bay Area musicians.
