PAUL WINTER

"Canyon Lullaby"

Living Music / Earth Music Productions

Since Paul Winter visited the Grand Canyon in 1963, this American musician has felt a special attraction for this marvel of nature. Now, solo (after many albums with his Paul Winter Consort), with his little child on the back, and armed only with his splendid saxo, Winter has returned to this land to create the music of an album that sprouts from the deepest regions of the soul. These are a total of 21 themes where the soloist instrument of this musician pays a homage to the natural beauty surrounding them. The compositions were recorded rigorously live. Microphones specially set allowed for capturing the sound of the saxo as it was remodelled by the spectacular geological formation of the Grand Canyon. All the themes have something of the magic, the spiritual, and also all of them have been composed by Paul Winter, except for Canyon Chaconne and Canyon Chaconne (reprise), where his good friend Paul Halley has participated.
