Label: LMB Music
Will Ackerman, Fiona Joy, Lawrence Blatt and Jeff Oster,
all well know names in the new age music industry, combined their skills and
experience to produce 11 tracks of outstanding instrumental music. There are
several other contributors as well to make this entire effort a reality.
I think what I enjoyed the most about listening to FLOW was how that title fit so well.
This is eclectic and very tastefully done. Because of the blend of musicians
contributing to this project you get a little bit of all of them, and the end
result becomes greater than the sum of its parts. A team effort if you will, is
what makes this music so different from track to track.
If it’s Will Ackerman or Tom Eaton’s guitar and the
production values they bring to the table or Jeff Oster’s gorgeous trumpet or
flugelhorn calling out for an answer, this music beckons you to partake in the
experience. And Tony Levin, the most
incredible and diverse bass player on the planet, is on the recording. He has
become the resident bass player at Imaginary Road Studios, and god knows how he
does it with all his other projects and live appearances on his schedule. All
of the people involved seem to be in an endless cycle of creativity that has
blessed us all for several years now.
The beauty of FLOW
is the fact that individuals that have perfected their own sound and created
their own legacy and styles have compromised that individuality to become one
unit. This is a unit that has a
spiritual connection and purpose that is undeniable.
If you listen, feel and absorb the FLOW, you will come to your own understanding of what was
accomplished on this album. Let the river of sounds and textures take you away
for a while, I can guarantee you will be back for a second trip down the stream.
Note: You
can have the rare opportunity to see all of these artists together at Carnegie
Hall on October 6th! Tickets Here.
