Spare sounds, but beautifully woven together - all in service of these lovely long tracks that really highlight the soulful side of reedman Mabumi Yamaguchi! Each number here takes up half the side of a record - there's only four tracks in all - and Yamaguchi plays these slow-building, spiritually-searching solos on tenor and soprano sax - working with some great Fender Rhodes in the background on most numbers, plus bass and drums that build into the rhythms slowly - then get very full by the end of the record. The whole thing's wonderful - as powerful as it is poetic - and titles include "Dawn", "Dewdrop", "Distant Thunder", and "Leeward".
