This 1983 album by James Newton, an American flutist who has worked with Herbie Hancock, Sam Rivers, Anthony Davis and many others, and who has also recorded a number of New Age-oriented solo works, was released on the West Coast New Age label Gramavision. It features a fine cast of jazz musicians including John Blake (violin), Anthony Davis (p), Billy Hart (dr), Cecil McBee (b) and Jay Hoggard (vib). The result is contemporary jazz with a gentle atmosphere throughout. This is an ambient jazz gem.
