5 out of 5 stars Just Beautiful........2000-07-10

Simply put, one of the best, most evocative instrumental albums I've ever heard. Anyone who thinks this kind of music is "light" or "dull" will change their mind after listening to this passionate & often haunting music.

5 out of 5 stars rich, haunting, moving.......1999-08-11

masterful playing, wonderful musicians, haunting, rootsy, jazzy, americana. I hear new things with every listen. highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Magical. His mastery of guitar style is amazing. Great!.......1999-04-17

I'm constantly amazed at this guy's work. It's been a few years since his last CD, and his 1995 release, Letters from Joubee, is still a favorite. When is he coming to town?

5 out of 5 stars A remarkable collection of music and musicians.......1999-04-02

This is a tour de force of acoustic music! It touches on so many genres and Artie is equally at home with all of them. From the world-beat/blues of "Long Journey" to the folky(with John Sebastian on harp and guitar)"Fourteen Turtles" to the very hip atmospherics of Traum and Adrian Belew on "Mean Low Water" this CD is good, really good.Also check out the duet with Lawrence Juber, his stunning work with Sam Bush and Bela Fleck, Traum's "swamp-romp" with The Band and the closing duet with bro Happy... For fans of great, inventive, melodic, fun acoustic music...this CD is perfect!

5 out of 5 stars inspired writing, gorgeous playing, excellent sound.......1999-03-22

Forget all that stuff about "adult instrumental" and "errs on the polite side." So did Mozart, Schubert, Ellington, even Miles Davis in the Birth of the Cool and Kind of Blue days. I love this CD. It's beautiful. Traum's compositions are elegant, mature, satisfying as great French cooking. And his friends cook, maybe politely, but what's wrong with politeness? If you want your food crude and served rude, go to Denny's. You people with good taste, to you I recommend this record -- highly!
