For the true music lover

This CD not only highlights a true virtuoso, it provides an ambient, homogenous peace. Many "show off" albums bounce around too much, but not this one. Ted greene wasn't showing off, he was simply playing. He was the best, but don't expect flash from this CD - it's all bite and no bark!

I am inspired, nourished and educated on every listening.
author: George Winston
I have been listening to this album by my dear friend Ted Greene since it first came out in 1977. I still, to this day, hear and learn something new every time I hear it. It is very beautiful and soulful music, as well as an encyclopedia of chord voicings, substitutions, modulations, harmonics and more. The deep soul of Ted’s music is in his use of chords. I am inspired, nourished and educated on every listening. It is very wonderful to have it available again, thanks to Paul G. Kohler at Art of Life Records and Ted.
