Review: FLOW is a New Age-super group including local guitarist and founder of the legendary label, Windham Hill, William Ackerman. There is a beautiful flow in the music that lives up to their name. As in the records on ECM, the pause plays a significant role. The music is allowed to breathe and silence becomes a companion to the pieces. Several stellar guest sit in, as well.
If You Like: Michael Hedges, Bill Frissell, George Winston, Django Bates, Enrico Rava, Mark Isham;
