5.0 out of 5 stars
Great stuff, February 28, 2001
This review is from: Echo Canyon (Audio CD)
This is rapidly becoming my favorite jazzy flute album. The album is entirely unaccompanied flute, improvised and recorded in a remote canyon in Arizona. The music has a quiet meditative feel to it and the sounds of nature in the background are audible at differing levels on all the tracks. Without a backing band, Newton's music is able to move freely wherever he feels it should take him, so don't expect swing. It's a bit more avant-jazz meets Debussy.
The liner notes with the description of just what was involved in doing this location recording are great fun.
