This album was released in 1983 that features recordings from a concert held in 1982 at the Berklee Performance Center in Boston by Windham Hill Records, a New Age label on the American West Coast led by William Ackerman. The album includes participation from label-affiliated artists such as William Ackerman, George Winston, Michael Hedges, Alex de Grassi, Liz Story, Darol Anger, Michael Manring, and others. It contains various tracks, including guitar solos by Hedges and Grassi, as well as unique New Age ensembles formed by the members exclusively for this release. The recording quality is exceptional, allowing listeners to enjoy a sense of presence in the sound. Track B1 stands out, featuring a trio performance of songs from Hedges' masterpiece album 'Aerial Boundaries,' played by Hedges on guitar, Story on piano, and Manring on bass. This track transcends into the realm of contemporary jazz with similarities to ECM's artistic vision.
