Essential: a masterpiece of jazz-fusion music.
Openly I would describe this work as the first Oregon's LP, under the direction of soprano saxophonist Paul Winter.
Later I've heard other Winter's works, and are geared more toward the New-Age genre.
As for the music on this LP, is so good. That you can hear some of the jazz-ethnic-acoustic fusion.
Another interesting thing we've to a Ralph Towner, not only playing guitar… also singing and does quite well! Listen to "The Silence Of A Candle".
An LP 5 stars.
