The City the Wind Swept Away by Jim Fox (CB0015)

text

'The City the Wind Swept Away' is about half-hour long instrumental piece done with trombone, violins, piano etc. Characterized by quietude and sparse composition, the melodic theme gently lifts off with a piano, to be later backed by deeper and lower reverberating trombone tones. The composition floats on the selective, gentle and calm moods it evokes. Meditative and restful, it makes a great listening and a potential immersive into innumerable things. More a 'classical' than an ambient piece, it deserves full merit for its virtues, leaving you absorbed yet emotionally alert after each listen. The meditative qualities of this mini-album, to be thoroughly recommended for anyone who can stand silence, can be ascribed to its minimalist cadencies and peaceful trombone drones.
