An amazing group of musicians. One of the times I saw them, without a percussionist- using a drum machine, in a small club in upstate NY. It was called the Town Crier, in Pawling I think. I got there early and they were setting up and I started to leave. Ralph asked if I was there for the show and I said yes. He said, "Have a seat, we're about to do a sound check." So, I sat alone in the club while they did the sound check. I have a million things that I would have like to have said to Ralph but I was too taken aback to think of any at the time.
This would make the great jazz fusion composer/keyboardist Joe Zawinul of Weather Report rise from his grave to take notes! This is amazing eclectic free form jazz!
I didn't know I knew I didn't know I understood A language that crept under my skin, seeped out my pores, swirled 'round within, Leaving me Never to be Never to be Never to be the same
One of the world's treasures. I'm sometimes on the verge of tears. Have been listening to them for 50 plus years.
this contains everything I could ever want music to be. It's a masterpiece that defies category or explanation.
que extraordinarios!!!!!!

572 subscribers? I'm shocked. This is Ralph Towner people. Get the word out. This is one of the greatest composers and players of our time.

This is satanic freemasonry
Like Guinness iRalph is an acquired taste. Once you get a taste for him he’s delicious.
beyond excellent - superb - mastermind piece of music
Absolutely mesmerising track
what's wrong with the world, that such a beautiful piece of music hardly gets any views!
You're among special friends
Cruising (1980) brought me here.
My friend just screened Cruising, and I saw it for the first time. I have this album in my car, and I couldn’t believe it when it started playing
Paul's oboe is a voice from the God's, such purity, it has that warm Baroque sound.
Great, great.
