Would that our leaders and populace listen to these strains and open their minds like these musicians maybe they could have the courage to waltz into the future with love and finesse.

I was 22 and on the train in the UK, a four hour trip south with amazing colours as the train cut through the fading light into night time. The train had a novelty - at-seat audio. This was the album on the jazz channel and I immediately fell in love with it.

eric in the evening played this tune o wgbh jazz radio and this tune is a sample of eric's fine tase and knowledge of what jazz is rip eric

...Beauty is always close...We talk too much and feel too little...The eye misses all the colors and is sated on all the darkness...Precious time is wasted...Tomorrow becomes yesterday...Ah, the way women move...Wish that I had heard this once upon a long time ago in the A Shau Valley...Architecture is frozen music..."...I am certain of nothing except the holiness of the Heart's affections and the truth of the Imagination..."(Keats)...Blessings to all points of the compass..James Patrick Casey, Esq.

this is so wonderful and what a great piece to listen to in early morning feeding horses in the barn, I think my horses love it

Bringing the Jazz back to Contemporary Jazz!

So hypnotic.. Yes, the pictures..a bonus absolutly. Bravo!

A modern classic. Across the crystal sea arranged and conducted by Claus Ogerman. The cd features Danilo Perez, piano; Cassandra Wilson, vocals on 2 tracks; Christian McBride,bass; Lewis Nash,drums; Luis Quintero, percussion; Bruce Dukov, concert master.

This is definitely one of my most favorite pieces. Love Danilo Perez.

A beautiful composition. Well arranged and mixed with different sound layers.

Beautiful and inspiring. Thank you for sharing. Thank the great Claus Ogerman and Danilo Peres!

I keep coming back here, because this does not appear on Spotify and the used CD prices are extortionate.

un plaisir à réécouter ce morceau,sublime album

A lovely piece of music and a fine video accompaniment. Thanks for this contribution. Love those bongos so beautifully played!

Goooooooood, always liked his immense feel for composition and improvisation, here very reminiscent of Lyle Mays. #OdedMusic #OdedFriedGaon #Audioded

This is truly beautiful.

extraordinaire album que je ne me lasse pas d'écouter et de réécouter

For anyone who's interested: The original composition this one is based on was written by the German composer Hugo Distler. Quiet nice, on a poem by Moericke. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m5x4dMKnpse2m30.html

I went to Amazon to buy a copy of this CD and quickly learned how rare and precious it is. As my brilliant Vietnamese friend Howard would say: "beaucoup bucks"!
