[deluxe1960]

a timeless classic and the sheer force of it never ceases to mesmerize me ....

[windmilltilter]

'Solstice' is one of my 'island-records'! Absolutely brillant music. Everybody plays at his peak, even Jan Garbarek....

[SuperSoakes]

Beyond words!

@Padabig60 Jan Garbarek and Jon Christensen are Norwegian.

BTW, Coltrane shone a beam of light on Jan the day he recorded this.

I have the LP at home and the CD at work. Can't be without at least the possibilty of playing this any time of day. I used to play the guitar myself, so am always aware of the technical prowess Towner has - without ever showing off; a true misician, not your typical fretboard wanker of which there are too many of.

@Padabig60 Garbarek is Norwegian

Esta pieza me recuerda cuando descubrí los discos ECM con sus nuevos conceptos del jazz, simplemente me enamoré de esta música llena de creatividad, fuerza e imaginación, con ejecuciones maravillosas. Gracias por traer esta música nuevamente a mis oidos.

[emeraldomusik]

this is my favourite piece of Ralph Towner.

I was given this record in 75. At that time the english studios had the best equipment and ECM in particular was producing the best sounding recordings. This record sonically and musically jumped out of my speakers. It has stood the test of time for sure.
