Title: Wonderful musicians playing beautiful sounds.
Review: This CD was initially released in 1987, at a time when a number of musicians were making such interesting crossover albums. In fact, if you enjoyed Hand's similar album, titled "Jazzantiqua", you will no doubt like this album also. Hand's music ia also in somewhat the same vein as some of the Paul Winter consort albums. But this album is more of a unique work and has only vague similarities. There are some very fine musicians performing on this CD like Eugene Friesen on cello and Eddie Daniels on woodwinds (among many). Primarily acoustic instrumentals, with some backing from electronics, and with a combination of the harmonies of English folk music but with the freeplay of jazz improvisation. The music offers both a feeling of relaxation as well as food for the imagation.Very recommended, if you can find a copy (sadly it seems to be out-of-print). By the way, this CD was also released (as was Jazzantiqua) by the Musical Heritage Society.
