Glorious ambient jazz from keyboardist John Taylor, trumpeter/flugelhorn-player Kenny Wheeler, and vocalist Norma Winstone. Lush, enveloping, transportive sounds. One of my top 10 favorite ECM records, for sure.
Track listing:
1. Sirens' Song
2. O
3. Azimuth
4. The Tunnel
5. Greek Triangle
6. Jacob
Traveling forever in the dark
Darkness into blackness
Then back
It's always black

Wow this is classic ECM! Innovative and accessible music but def out of the syrupy landscape of George Benson's and Spyro Gyra's! The released one in a trilogy of early releases with Ralph Towner. All three of this projects early releases are equally beautiful the later stuff doesnt apply!
ReplyDeleteAmazing Album. Norma Winstone, a voice like no other... THANKS
ReplyDeleteThank you for this and the Pat Metheny. You've got to give ECM credit for being mostly about the art.
ReplyDelete...and your top 10 ECM records are?

ReplyDeleteIs there anyway to re-up this. Looks like others have really liked it. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThank you kind sir. I'm sitting around on a cold, wet, overcast day, which has been the norm. This will help lift the spirits.
