Jim Walker flute
Mike Garson piano
RR-121CD
[HDCD]
Newly remastered with HDCD
Customers constantly ask for more Reference Recordings jazz, and for more Mike Garson! So, they are bringing back Jim Walker on flute with Mike Garson on piano, in a crystalline-pure recording of soothing, meditative jazz called PIED PIPER.
• 12 Original Mike Garson compositions.
• New high resolution digital remastering from the original analogue tapes.
• New evocative artwork for eco-friendly digipak.
• Jim Walker, flute: Dynamic soloist, legendary orchestral and studio musician, celebrated jazz flutist, and an inspiration to countless students worldwide.
• Mike Garson, piano: Best known as long-time music director for David Bowie, Mike Garson is perhaps the most versatile pianist working today.
This project was previously issued as 45 rpm audiophile LP in 1985 and CD in 1992: RR-18 “Reflections,” (long out of print and now a collectible! )
“Pianist Mike Garson and flutist Jim Walker, both with jazz and classical backgrounds and experience, came together on this project to present songs that reflected both their backgrounds. The results are often musically impressive… As with all Reference releases, it's superbly engineered and sounds wonderful.”
-- Ron Wynn, All Music Guide
