5.0 out of 5 stars Thanks Windham Hill and Public Radio, February 27, 2000

By A Customer

Intellectual...Yes. Innovative...Yes. I am glad I was not driving when I heard clips from this album for the 1st time because I would have surely wrecked my vehicle. I was, and still am, totally blown away. This music is impossible to describe but I certainly hope it signals the direction for the music of the future. This is a broad departure for the folks at Windham Hill Records but I want to thank them for bringing this amazing artist to us. Public Radio said his parents were shocked when their Julliard student added 2 more strings to his violin, hooked it up to a super amplification system and began playing Jimi Hendrix's music on his violin. (He also plays Bach and Gershwin and Hyw 61 Blues.) Every nanosecond of sound and space is flawlessly and purposefully executed. I hope they have recovered and realize what an incredible musician they have given to the world of classical jazz. Absolutely awesome CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a MUST for every music-lover's collection!, October 26, 1999

By A Customer

This newest Windham Hill release has become an instant favorite. It is just one of those records that you want to keep playing over and over. The selections are a combination of original compositions and well-known works, and it is hard to decide which numbers are more captivating. The violinist, Tracy Scott Silverman, has got to be one of the most talented performers and composers to come on the scene in a long time. Hope to hear lots more from him in the future. My advice to anyone looking for a "can't miss" purchase - don't miss this one!
