Ancient Beauty
Philo (US) 1981
9004 (LP)
sleeve : VG+(SRW, wear on edge and corner.)
media : VG+/EX-(some light surface noises caused by slightly hairlines. B1 has some scratch noises.)

This is the third album released in 1981 by Do'a, a cutting-edge American folk music ensemble consisting of Ken LaRoche and Randy Armstrong. The album features folkloric ethnic jazz with an organic sound throughout, featuring mainly acoustic guitar and flute, and incorporating ethnic instruments from various regions including Latin America/India/Africa. The sound quality is very rustic, and the natural tones of the various instruments can be heard without any artificial flavoring. It's similar view of the world shared by Ralph Towner, Colin Walcott, and Oregon, which also features these two musicians. All songs are highly recommended. There are no noticeable flaws, but there is some noise on B1.
