This my definitive homage to the memory of master Ralph Towner. The collection comprises 8 of his compositions: new mixes of 6 tracks previously featured in Chromatographies vols. 1 to 4, plus two previously unreleased pieces, Beneath An Evening Sky and Serenade, opening and closing the set. Rest in peace Master Towner.
