Paul Winter

Paul Winter (born August 31, 1939) is an American saxophonist, composer, and bandleader. He is a pioneer of world music and earth music, which interweaves the voices of the wild with instrumental voices from classical, jazz and world music. The music is often improvised and recorded in nature to reflect the qualities brought into play by the environment.

One of the MOST original bands to come out of the 60's.
OUTSTANDING!  Timeless music.

I will forever associate Paul Winter with the Vancouver music/drugs/social consciousness scene during this era: the launch of Greenpeace (the anti-nuclear test expedition under the banner of Don't Make a Wave Ctte.), the Jericho Beach Habitat conference in 1976, and all the other goings on along and beyond W. 4th Avenue in Kitsilano. It was years before I arrived on the west coast in the mid '80s but, shit, this was true butterfly-wings stuff, resonant then, resonant now, the ramifications of which are still being felt. Paul's horns and vocals are a cosmic summoning to a better world. Who could not be drawn to the siren's call, then or now?

I like this song and it's playing in my head quite often, for some reason.

Not sure why so many people gave it such a low rating

1969! wow...did not know he went back that far. I remember Canyon, which was recorded in the Grand Canyon and a church...one of the first CD I heard.

Did not know he was from Altoona PA, which is not that far away from me.

Must have meant raters and not commentors, because a year later there are only 16 commentors.  Guess some people could have deleted theirs.  
17 commentors with me twice.

I,d give this a 7 or 8, if I could rate something.  But that button isn't working.

Oh yes.  Although there are many songs of the era which strum the memory  . . .  somehow this one has a special haunting character that vibrates all the way from the back to the front of my head and down my spine.

Thank you RP for playing it today, 5-Mar-2020.

This album was considered very inventive in the early '70s. I think it's held up well.
