5 out of 5 stars Unreal and burrowed into the heart of things.......2002-11-13

The sound of this CD links all music and all emotion into an endless ocean of tone. I think that almost all genres of music are in this: jazz, meditative, classical, blues, folk, etc.

5 out of 5 stars Power and depth, past and future, beauty and questions.......2002-10-18

I first heard Kifu Mitsuhashi recently on the "Breath" CD by composer Haruno Kira, and was immedialtely struck by the huge tones and spacious phrasing of Kifu's shakuhachi. It is like hearing Wayne Shorter weave through a Zawinul piece, or Sun Ra take off with his Moog synthesizer, or the 30th generation 11-year-old flute master in the train station in India, or the sound of the moon reflecting off the ocean at midnight. Unbelievable, but right in front of you. It is no wonder that a whole school of Zen feels that one note of this instrument can propell you into enlightenment. The power and the depth hit you immediately, pulling together the past and the future into one place, and revealing stunning beauty and endless questions simultaneously. Thank you, Kifu.
