An American trio consisting of Gary MacCready (ts), Doro Reeves (ac-p), and Lorin Noller (g, ds), Northwind delivers a beautifully crafted album released in 1984. The group offers a warm blend of ethnic and contemporary jazz, highlighted by the earthy percussive groove and Don Cherry–like pastoral sax melodies intertwined with piano riffs on A3, and the emotive interplay of flowing piano lines and sustained sax tones on B1. A melodic and lyrical work that gracefully weaves together elements of New Age, classical, and folk music.
