5 out of 5 stars Magical, modern folk music at its finest!.......2004-01-01

Paul Reisler and his group Trapezoid offer artful and heartfelt arrangements of tunes old and new. Their sound is smooth, polished and hauntingly clear, emphasizing the accoustic but with some electronics in the form of guitars and synthesizers. Composition styles range from dreamy to plaintive to somewhat jazzy. Each track--and especially the progression of all of them together--brings to the surface emotions you didn't know you had, explores them with honesty and depth, and then lets them dissipate gently like ripples in a pond. The sung numbers are characterized by the exquisite vocal harmonies of Cheryl Hurwitz and Anne Louise White. Instruments used include guitar, saxophone, hammered dulcimer, violin, clarinet, harp, mandolin and percussion. Trapezoid is a group that I am hard-pressed to describe in words, as it is different from any other represented in my collection. Their work is innovative, engaging, intricate, unexpected and truly special, and "Moon Run" is my favorite of their releases. Do yourself a favor: click on the listen links to the available tracks so you can hear for yourself, and try also their 1994 release, "Remembered Ways". If you enjoy Trapezoid's style, you may also appreciate the warm and folksy "Homecoming" by Jerry Read Smith, and the work of Paul Reisler and other hammered dulcimer masters on John McCutcheon's terrific album "Step by Step".
