This album contains perhaps the most uplifting, glorious tune ever written, the stunning "Icarus" by Ralph Towner. The only versions that can compare to this one are the "In Concert" version by Oregon, and the duet version by Ralph Towner and Gary Burton off the famous ECM "Matchbook" release. THIS is the tune that NEVER EVER leaves my brain, for some 30 years now.

Good, but not particularly thorough display of Paul Winter's experimental Jazz/World Beat/New Age talent...

Much of Winter's magic will always mostly eminate from his original LP's; this set leans towards "short-sighted"...

A "foursider" or double LP of some sort, should have really been considered for someone like Paul...
