In 1985, Paul Winter recorded Canyon in a naturally reverberant side canyon of the Grand Canyon which he nicknamed "Bach's Canyon". The album featured the Paul Winter Consort. In 1996, he returned to the canyon to create an album of solo saxophone improvisations. The album was a musical representation of a period of 24 hours in the canyon. To help create this feeling, Winter played at all different times during the day and night.
