Reception

The Allmusic review by Stephen Cook awarded the album 3 stars stating "Beirach showed off his Bill Evans-tinged style and revealed his own brand of soft melancholy to the jazz audience. This solo date from 1977 proves the point with nine meditative pieces, all couched in ECM's patented spacious sound. While not on the same intensity level of Keith Jarrett's work or as subtle as Evans' prime recordings, Beirach's playing here still delivers its own dreamy rewards".[2]

Personnel

gollark: COVID-19?
gollark: Yes, they really managed the pandemic well in China by trying to ignore it/cover it up and hoping it would go away.
gollark: I like authoritarian governments, but only if they magically make everything work better with no problems and never cause problems for me or anyone else I know.
gollark: Doesn't that demonstrate that being more authoritarian and not having democracy does NOT automatically make a place good, if you don't like Singapore?
gollark: Isn't Singapore also one of those somewhat-authoritarian not-very-democracy places?
