I watched this video since I've always been a huge fan of the Azimuth group(and all the musicians individual works as well! -Norma Winstone, John Taylor, Kenny Wheeler) The ocean storm in this video is terrifying! I thought the ship might capsize from the waves. Amazing photography and Azimuth's music makes it all seem like grace under the most extreme pressure.

Thank you for sharing.

@scryabin You're very welcome. John Taylor is from my home town and I've admired his art for many years.

I wanted to raise awareness of the challenges faced above sea level juxtaposed by the relative calm of the siren's lure. John's ornamental phrasing, Kenny's steady ostinato and Norma's ethereal voice fit this theme perfectly.Thanks for commenting.
