This CD brings together some of the greatest cool jazz ever recorded--Tristano's 1949 sextet sessions for Capitol and Marsh's 1956 masterpiece Jazz of Two Cities. Tristano's sessions (which feature Marsh and Lee Konitz on sax) are breathtaking displays of exciting and intellectually challenging bop, and the final two cuts--"Intuition" and "Digression"--prefigure free jazz. While less adventurous, Marsh's 1956 outing (with Ted Brown on tenor sax) is a beautiful collection of standards and originals. It clearly demonstrates why Tristano thought Marsh was one of the great jazz improvisers. --Bill Holdship

5 out of 5 stars A valuable resource for creativity.......2007-07-11

I have found Jeffery Thompson's Theta CDs a useful aid to creativity over the past 4-5yrs promoting calming and focus. I play it through Windows media player with SoundSpectum's G-Force frequency responsive image software to reinforce the effect and involve the visual brain.

5 out of 5 stars Very good.......2007-06-26

I am very pleased with this CD, the music is very calming and relaxing. I don't know if it actually gets me into a theta state as I have no way of measuring my brain waves with an EEG device but it does get me more relaxed and stress-free and thats what I care about. Highly recommend it.

4 out of 5 stars Takes the edge off..........2007-06-13

I find this CD really helps me rejuvenate and re-energize if I haven't had enough sleep or otherwise feel fatigued. It's particularly helpful on days following a night of insomnia, and leaves me feeling as if I'd caught up on the missed sleep. It also provides powerful assistance for creative visualization sessions.

5 out of 5 stars GREAT PRODUCT.......2007-03-19

I LOVED THE CD'S, HOWEVER I DIDN'T GET THE BOOK. ALL OF THIS GUYS MUSIC IS PHENOMINAL. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

5 out of 5 stars wonderful!.......2007-02-16

I have bought several guided imagery cd's for relaxation and have found the voices on them to be irritating or the content to be kinda stupid. So I bought some nature sounds like ocean waves etc and found them to be relaxing but not exactly trance inducing. This cd is amazing. At first it just sounds like a new age cd but when you use it to meditate it pulls you in to a state of very deep relaxation. My whole body felt tingly. I don't think I have ever felt so at peace. I plan on buying all his cd's and using them every day!!!

5 out of 5 stars My Personal Favorite.......2007-07-03

There's one way to describe this album...ecstacy...without the need for substance abuse. Play this disc start to finish. It's serene.

5 out of 5 stars One of the Best Trance Albums Ever.......2007-03-30

This album is perhaps the best pop vocal trance album ever, with the others being Ian Van Dahl's "Lost and Found," Alice Deejay's "Who Needs Guitars Anyway," and 4 Strings "Believe." There is no filler here, almost every single track has an amazing hook and beat. Unlike most trance albums, the lyrics are actually really good and the songs don't all sound alike. As a matter of fact, each song is somewhat different. This album is proof to the naysayers who claim that trance music is not art. This is a gem of an album, and look for the follow-up "Unique" in May 2007!

5 out of 5 stars A Christmas suprise for my daughter!.......2007-01-18

5 out of 5 stars Awesome Music.......2006-11-10

This CD is awesome! I won this off of the radio when it first came out and am addicted ever since. Great CD!

5 out of 5 stars Five stars for the voice, and another five for the music.......2006-06-28

Give me music that will make me move without stopping, music that will make me brood about what my ears listen; give me music that will make me play the same songs over and over again; music that will make me sing while driving. Give me DJ Encore's and Engelina's "Intuition", one of the best, if not the best, vocal trance album ever.

I'm completely amazed with this album. The lyrics are just awesome, easy to listen to, understandable; it's pure music, and music of the one I hadn't heard for some time. Engelina's breathtaking voice and Encore's magnificent performance as a DJ is, without doubt, what makes this CD a success, a masterpiece. All the songs are tremendous, making it easy to fall into the lyric and follow the stream of words without skipping any song. To you readers, and fans, the only thing I can say is: Buy this album; you will not regret giving it a try, guaranteed.

5 out of 5 stars Way Ahead of the Times!.......2002-08-29

Tristano was a musician more talked about than listened to during his heyday. But he was way ahead of his time...really music hasn't truly caught up with him (as it hasn't really caught up with any of the great innovators.) This album contains all of Tristano's classic 1949 sides recorded for Capitol with his sextet. On the surface, this stuff sounds like bop...but listen closely, it is really another world.

Most of the tunes are based on traditional chord changes, like bop heads. But the heads are more intricate, requiring more arrangement, sometimes quite complex arrangement. Warne Marsh and Lee Konitz are terrific in their solos. Both show a penchant for long winding lines that explore the farthest reaches of the chord changes, and an approach to rhythm that is both smooth and angular at the same time. The phrasing is quick and light, but the accents of the lines reach accross the time signatures.

Tristano is a wonder. He was the master of the impossibly long line...melodic material spins out from his fingers in seemingly endless streams. Tristano is all about invention. He doesn't seem to have any licks at all. You never know where line will end up. It is endlessly inventive and exciting playing. And his harmonic structure is nearly Scriabinesque.

The revolutionary cuts from this period are Intuition and Digression. Both are examples of completely free playing, something that Tristano'sgroups had been experimenting with for many years in their live gigs. This is not the kind of free playing that you would hear from the great avant-gardists of the 60's. Rather, it is full of feeling, but not emotive...exploratory but not dissonant for dissonance's sake. The players form an almost telepathic bond, with motives and phrases past around from member to member. The freedom, which is intense, never descends into chaos, as it could in the worst examples of the New York energy school. And Tristano, like Cecil Taylor after him, directs everything from the keyboard. These are experiments, but ones that every musician should hear. Close study of Tristano would put alot of energy back into the worn out "New Traditionalist" movement in jazz.

The Warne Marsh cuts from the late 50s initially disappointed me, partly because I hadn't looked carefully at the cover info, and I was expecting all Tristano. Compared to the adventurousness of the 1949 cuts, the Marsh sides sound like alot of other "West Coast School" jazz albums. But that's just a superficial reading of the recordings. More careful listening shows that Marsh really profitted from his time in New York with Tristano. His lines are still exploratory and "out" in a way that Chet Baker and even Gerry Mulligan never really approached. Marsh may have been one of the more underrated tenor players of the 50's. This set swings, but repays careful listening as well.

tThe remastering of the sides is terrific. They both sound much more modern than their dates would suggest...the Tristano sides sound cleaner than I've ever heard them, even on vinyl!

So get this disc for the Tristano sides, they are classic. But the Marsh sides are worth a listen too. You owe it to yourself to listen to these searching musicians. They will expand your appreciation of the art form of jazz.

5 out of 5 stars Thank you Amazon Listomania!.......2001-10-05

If not for listomania and the people who have chosen this cd as one of their favorites; as well as giving it glowing reviews, I never would have found it. I've never heard of Lennie Tristano in my life, but after finding this cd on Amazon I thought that I would give it a try. You can tell by my rating that I was very pleased with the results. Thanks again, everyone who recommended this one to me. I never would have discovered it without you guys.

5 out of 5 stars this music sounds as fresh today as the day it was recorded!.......1999-07-26

Years ago as a high school student, one evening after midnight, I turned on my bedside radio and came upon radio station WJZ from New York. The DJ was Symphony Sid Torin who played jazz from midnight to five A.M. That was the first time heard WOW which appears on this CD. That tune got me hooked on the players of the Tristano school. The music was entirely different than what was happening at the time and remains so today. This music sounds as fresh today as the day it was recorded. All tunes except Digression and Intuition which are the first recorded attempts at free form playing, are based on the chord progressions of standard tunes. Marionette is September in the rain, Sax of a kind is on the Fine and Dandy changes and so forth. The Warne Marsh Quintet recordings originally released in mono as Jazz of Two Cities and stereo as The Winds of Marsh, are a lot looser and more swinging. Every selection in this CD has stood the test of time. I had the 78rpm copies of the Tristano material, later on LP, and also the Warne Marsh LP. The Warne Marsh tracks also feature tenor saxophonist Ted Brown who I believe to be the freshest improviser in jazz today. Two fine examples of Ted's more current playing can be heard on the Lee Konitz CD called Figure and Spirit and Ted's own date for Criss Cross called Free Spirit. Don't miss hearing it.

5 out of 5 stars The greatest cool jazz artists you never heard of...........1999-01-13

After falling in love with The Cool (Chet Baker, Mulligan, Miles, McCoy Tyner and others) I was searching for new names. BINGO. This recording is up there with the best of the them. Buy this if you're wondering if anything will ever approach birth of the cool....

5 out of 5 stars This is beautiful music by some under-appreciated musicians.......1998-12-02

Before buying this wonderful CD, I had read that Lennie Tristano was an under-appreciated musical genius. After buying it, I understand that he was a genius and needs to be listened to by more people. I can't believe that Tristano was making music like this in the late '40s. It is complex, but beautiful. The song "Yesterdays" is a flowing melody between piano and guitar that is one of the prettiest pieces of music I have ever heard. I sincerely hope that more music enthusiasts will introduce themselves to Lennie Tristano.

By the way, the Warne Marsh tracks are almost as beautiful. Buy this music!!!

I bought the lp when it first came out. It has never grown old. I haven't bought a cd of it. I think that you should if you haven't bought one already -- you'll like it!

5 out of 5 stars The Power Spot Of Sound.......2004-06-06

This is, simply, one of Jon Hassell's GREAT albums! Totally unique...ultra sophisticated...deeply primitive...complex in the way that usually only Classical music is. In fact, when this first came out on vinyl...that's where I had to go to find it! Yes, the Classical section at my local Tower Records! Of course, back then, no one seemed quite clear just where Hassell belonged...rock, jazz, new age, classical, world??? Probably ALL of these are true, but it did make locating his latest album difficult at times. And this illustrates the remarkable combination of sounds and rhythms that all of Hassell's work contains. To over-simplify, take those raw African or Malay drums and pair them with *the* most digitally-altered trumpet textures you will probably ever hear. Now, take that and add a live performance group where every member is equally intelligent and unique. That's what you have on this CD. The composition works perfectly. And it *really* is different *every* time you hear it. Truly GREAT music. Don't miss this one.

5 out of 5 stars Transmissions from the Atmosphere.......2001-12-21

He does seem to be receiving messages from the ether here and laying them out for the audience ...

In its time quite an original and outstanding album. Nowadays, music like this ("Ambient") has become a formula and disseminated by countless artists ... still, perhaps Hassell's original conception here can still move a new listener. You'll have to tell me. The first track is particularly "accessible" as it contains a repeating bassline which is quite nice.

5 out of 5 stars Transporting........2000-12-15

Rich, lovely, and fiercly original music that tells stories of vaguely familiar worlds, but from such a skewed perspective that one often finally discovers wonderful things that have always been there, but to that point, unseen. And Hassel's generous expression of these things reveals beauty that often wouldn't be recognized as such. My good friend calls the music "broken" (not as a compliment). And it is in a way a celebration of the beauty of many things; some of which are, in fact, broken.

4 out of 5 stars peaceful.......2000-09-16

seems mellow peaceful and contemplative as if he realizes there is pain in the world and wishes to play to you a song that does not forget that people are hurting or that he can find beauty in the world i think that if you like listening to the cars go by at night in a light rain or like to sit by the ocean and listen to the surf with the stars above and the lights of a distant city on the horizon that you might like this, if you are reading this jon, thank you for your work.

5 out of 5 stars Acoustic delight!!!!.......2002-08-02

It's amazing what kind of perfect alchemy these three musicians can create with "simple" instruments .... such as percussions, double bass and an acoustic guitar. Be prepared, the music contained in this album has extraordinary deepness, complexity, armony, balance. Ok moneys are important fame is important, but why the hell Kevin Eubanks doesn't dedicate himself completely to serious music (as the one presented here)? My God, he could be remembered as one of the 3/4 more talented guitarist in the jazz history!! Hope he will record more in the future!! No words for Holland and Cinelu. How can you describe perfection?

5 out of 5 stars An Astonishing Album.......2001-10-09

This is one of the best -- and most under-noticed -- releases of the last five years. Eubanks, Cinelu, and the sublime Dave Holland achieve Vulcan mind-meld status as an ensemble on this spirited, swinging collection of acoustic guitar, bass, and percussion grooves. If you're a fan of albums like Tim Sparks' luminous "Tanz" on the Tzaddik label, you must get this. If you're a Holland enthusiast, you will supremely dig Holland's super-muscular virtuosity here. If you know nothing about Eubanks other than his "Tonight Show" gig (I mean, whatever), prepare to be astounded by his fine taste, depth, and fluid imagination.

This is a superb record!

5 out of 5 stars Artistically Phenominal.......1998-11-04

After first listening to this on a bootleg tape in early 1998, I new I had to find it on CD and add it to my collection! World Trio (with Kevin Eubanks from the tonight show) along with Holland and Cinelu put together an amazing collection of very spiritual and soothing music. I enjoy putting it on while reading a book, taking a nap, doing yoga, or driving in traffic. It is very intense, but relaxing. You can really appreciate what these 3 artists can do! Enjoy!

    A suitably ambitious memento of the group's 30-year association, Oregon in Moscow is not a concert recording but a far-reaching exploration of the ensemble's substantial orchestral influences. Recorded over six days in the company of the Moscow Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra, the two-disc project (covering more than 90 minutes) highlights the venerable group's attentiveness toward tone, dynamics, and phrasing as much as its facility for transcending genres and rhythms. Producer Steve Rodby seated the quartet (founding members Ralph Towner, Paul McCandless, and Glen Moore, plus new, fresh-faced percussionist Mark Walker) face-to-face in the same studio (Moscow's State Recording House GDRZ) during the overdub-free recording, a move that imbues the CD with a rewarding collaborative spark. On several occasions, Rodby mentions in the liner notes that orchestra members responded to Oregon's group improvisations with shouts and stomping feet. The recorded outcome is often serious-minded and somewhat less lyrical than, say, Northwest Passage, the disc that preceded this project by more than two years. Abstract at times ("Arianna") and liberating at others ("Zephyr," "Icarus"), Oregon in Moscow seems to invigorate every artist involved, and McCandless seems especially adventurous in the orchestral setting. It serves as a fitting, challenging reminder that beyond jazz, world rhythms, and categories not yet defined, classical stimuli are another fundamental element in Oregon's free-range musical amalgam. --Terry Wood

    5 out of 5 stars Bravo!.......2006-06-02

    About three or four years ago, when I was trying to update my cd collection of Oregon, (my record albums were long gone), I noticed that several of the reviews for "Oregon in Moscow" were not very enthusiastic, so opted for other Oregon recordings. Then, just recently, at a local store, I saw the Moscow set on sale, and couldn't resist the bargain price. Well, after one listen, I could have kicked myself for paying any attention to those early negative reviews.

    The orchestral venture for Oregon's compositions was an amazingly, natural fit. It was like having heard a jazz chamber group with Eastern and Western influences for all these years, suddenly, have a symphony orchestra around them. With the orchestra, I was not only able to hear the beauty of those old sounds, but new influences, as well, like Villa Lobos and Bartok. Anyway, the result is truly memorable and one whose beauty you will want to listen to, again and again.

    5 out of 5 stars listen again........2002-10-29

    yes, i agree that this music is wonderful.

    now, put it on some really nice speakers, or really nice headphones, and listen to the amazing sound.

    Astounding. An orchestra and a jazz group. All live. Coordinating with and inspired by each other. Usually a DISASTER. This, however, is a sonic masterpiece.

    KUDOS to Rich Breen, the engineer.

    5 out of 5 stars WHO MIGHT LIKE THIS CD?.......2001-07-25

    I purchased this album because of Paul McCandless. In my view he substantially enriches the music of Bela Fleck, so I expected that he would do as much for Oregon. I was not disappointed.

    Anyone who enjoys both jazz phrasiology and classical music should find this album a great addition to their library. Its more weighty than Claude Bolling's classical-jazz. It's also more lucid and spacious than the orchestral recordings of DiMeola. I plan to purchase more copies of this CD for friends who enjoy the fusion of classical instrumentation and jazz improvization.

    5 out of 5 stars justly successful.......2001-05-09

    Apart from the fact that for a full-price double-CD this is a bit on the short side (a total of 90 minutes of music), there is little to complain about here. I was a bit concerned when I first heard of the release and the fact that Oregon is backed here by a symphony orchestra, but the union turns out to be a seamless one. I expected to hear something like a series of modern-day concerti grossi, but instead the effect of the orchestra is to create an overall dramatic emphasis and ambience, with individual musicians trading off solos or blending into the overall stream. Certainly, the whole production is very much Oregon-, not the Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra-, centered. Towner and McCandless especially are in great form, there is a good mix of new and 'classic' material (the renditions of "Waterwheel" and "Icarus" *really* sparkle), and one is constantly conscious of a high level of professionalism at all levels. 'Not the best or most representative single introduction to the music of Oregon, perhaps, but probably destined to become their best known work.

    5 out of 5 stars Exemplary Wind Playing.......2001-03-11

    I applaud Oregon for sustaining its superb artistry even as it undergoes a format change. Most non-classical groups sound like muzak when they position themselves in front of an orchestra; Oregon simply finds a new dimension.

    As a professional oboist, I have always found Paul McCandless' work an inspiration. An outside-of-the-box musician with speechlike communicative abilities on all the instruments he plays, he never sacrifices beauty of tone or technical hyper-virtuosity. McCandless is the only jazz star I have heard who would flatten virtually any competition had he chosen the classical field. Best of all, the lucidity and flash of all that technique doesn't stand alone, but infuses the music with a searching expression and beautiful sense of style.

    5 out of 5 stars WOW!!!.......2006-09-10

    Wow! This CD is amazing; real soul music. I got the CD because I loved the song that was showcased on Putamayo's World Blues CD. I listen to a lot of world music and The Unseen Guest is the best of East meets West that I have seen around in a long time. The combination of blues guitar and Indian instruments fits so nicely that it brings you to a place that you haven't had the pleasure to visit before. The lyrics are mysterious and haunting at times. There is a true sense of other worldiness in this music. It is refreshing and new and we are lucky to have such talented and innovative artists out there to bring us this truly unique sound. A vey special CD!

    5 out of 5 stars It grows on you, quite like how .......2005-11-17

    The afore mentioned affable 4-headed andavan 'Brahma' recommended the band and music.
    For once someone has pulled of the 'East meets West' credo! Declan's voice rocks. Kinda like Eddie Vedder after some 'Californian Purple haze'.(which is a good thing). Amith's acoustics sound 'rich'. "Let me in" is a rendition of a genre that would have toasted Dave Mathews chilling with Dr. Balasubramanian.

    Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys a tangent to their otherwise boring lifestyles involving nothing but routine S&M (oh wait that might just be me..)

    My personal rating is a 4.9 out of 5. Only because you didnt have Miles Davis on.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent debut effort from this eclectic duo.......2005-11-15

    Amith and Declan have just embarked on putting their music out for people to hear, albeit they've been musicians for long. I could go really verbose talking about their music, but that exercise would seem a little pointless considering [...] This is the kind of music that grows on you. Excellent piece of work!! Higly recommended!!!

    5 out of 5 stars Simply Beautiful.......2006-11-21

    This is one of the best duo or otherwise albums in a acoustic jazz format that you could listen to period. Making this record was supposedly a dream of Bill's since Eddie Gomez joined the trio. At this time the current drummer Marty Morell had left the trio and instead of filling his spot, Bill chose to work as a duo and to make this record. There is a mixture of well known standards some originals and some lesser known tunes. The album opens with the classic Kaper song Invitation and it is a classic with threads of Chopin given the classic rhapsidic threatment. Two of my all time favorites are Track 4 The Nature of Things and track 6 A face without a name, written by Claus Ogerman who collaborated with Evans on another killer album Symbiosis. I think that A Face without a name is one of the best things that Bill has ever recorded. Eddie Gomez plays impecablly throughout,check out track 5 for killer Eddie. Also worth note is the last track Hi Li Hi Lo dedicated here to Evans late girlfriend Ellaine who had committed suicide a year earlier. Overall this album is one of the best and is in my opinon overlooked. If your a fan of killer music buy this disc now. Also check out Montreaux three which is also a duo.

    4 out of 5 stars You Must Listen to Hi Lili Hi Lo.......2005-07-18

    This Bill Evans release has received less exposure than some of his earlier material on Riverside and Verve, partially due to the sheer number of titles the artist cut during this period of his career (early 1970's). Most of the titles Evans made for Fantasy are of very high calibre musically, due to the production talents of his then manager, the late Helen Keane, and this release is no exception to that fact. Evans was, not surprisingly, an inveterate musical perfectionist and his dissatisfaction with some of his recordings 1ed the record company (Fantasy) to release albums with little promotion or fanfare. What is most significant about this release is that it was Bill's first studio duo outing with the great bassist Eddie Gomez, who was probably the finest accompanist who ever played with him (with a salute to Scott Lafaro of course). Eddie was also Bill's longest-standing musical partner (10 years) over the course of the artist's 25-plus years career. Some purists may not care for several titles on this release where Evans plays electric piano but at this time (1974) the Fender Rhodes was at the height of its popularity, championed by Joe Zawinal from Cannonball Adderley's tremendously successful outfit. The single outstanding title from the Intuition release is the haunting melody Hi Lili Hi Lo, penned by Hollywood film score writer Bronislaw Kaper. There are few songs in the history of modern popular music with such overwhelming beauty as this number (played on acoustic piano by Evans). Evans played it just once in the studio and this is it. Buy this release for this song. You will never forget it.

    5 out of 5 stars Breathtaking!.......2005-01-10

    Among the Fantasy recordings, this and "I Will Say Goodbye" are the two best albums/CDs, in my opinion. But it's not really an inter-play filled duo album one might expect if Bill and Scott La Faro ever recorded a drums-less album together.
    The absence of drums better features Bill's piano playing a lot more than a usual trio format, while Eddie's bass remains aside most of the time. My favorite tunes are "A Face Without A Name" and "Falling Grace." Both of them are breathtaking and I seem to get back to those tunes whenever I play this CD.

    This is the first Bill Evans album I ever bought. It's a fine album with a good beat as on most of Evans other realeases, but I feel that somethings still missing so it's not his best. He and Eddie Gomez play perfectly together !

    5 out of 5 stars If you can get this 2-CD set it is worth it.......2007-03-16

    One CD has five meditations all spoken with background instrumental music. The second CD just has the instrumental. When used in the morning and evening or while doing daily chores this CD set trains the mind to find solutions or generate ideas. The spoken meditations were short which was a surprise but otherwise this is another excellent intuitive tool.

    5 out of 5 stars A wonderful continuation of The Healing Circle CD.......2007-03-12

    For those who already have a copy of Laura Day's previous CD, this is a wonderful new tool to add to an intuitive toolkit. Disk 1 has five tracks that are spoken narrations of re-developing our intuitive and subconscious faculties towards the destiny we choose to create and work towards with our energy. Disk 2 is instrumental acoustics designed to complement and reinforce the pratices on the first disk. A continuation of Day's method of changing energy patterns to support conscious intentions.
