Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
A celebrated jazz clarinettist in the 1950s, Tony Scott started collaborating with Japanese artists on a trip he made to the country in 1959; he returned in 1964 to teach classes in American Jazz, and ended up collaborating with koto-ist Shinichi Yuize and shakuhachi flute player Hozan Yamamoto on a dozen improvised collaborations. Based on the Zen concept of Beginner's Mind, a state of openness that leads to exploration, the Scott-led pieces pre-date the more modern concept of 'ambient' by a good couple of decades--but, as music descended from temples and designed to ease the mind to a state of higher consciousness, it follows many of the same directives. The gentle clarinet is complemented by the flute, with the koto--a 13-stringed zither--providing a comfortable contrast, though all three musicians appear on only a single track, the opening "Is Not All One?". --Randy Silver

5.0 out of 5 stars
it really works,
By jaharjen (hollanda) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: Music For Zen Meditation (Audio CD)
like the first reviewer wrote: this is a medicine, a natural tranquillizer. For like half a year I went to bed while spinning this record and I never got bored with it. I woke up with it as well. In fact, I became to love it more & more. It gave me companion through hard times. The strange thing is that this recording never bores me, not after a million { which is a lot} times listening to it. This I can definetly say would be one of the very few CDs I would have with me on a deserted island. In meditational music in general I kinda miss harmonics. Not in this case. So, for all you nervous people out there, take it from me: this really relaxes your mind. Nothing is what I want?

Sorry: more like jazz than zen...,
By Boileau0663 (Tournai, Belgique) - See all my reviews

First, this is a very short cd: only forty minutes. Second, although the string instrument(koto)sounds pretty much Eheiji-like, the flute, definitely the dominant instrument on this cd, sounds more like New Orleans jazz than zen, which is quite disturbing, to say the least. The first piece ends quite abruptly, which is a disaster if you are meditating.I was thoroughly disappointed and it was hard to remain calm and centered thinking of the wasted money. It landed in the garbage can after just one try.How other people could write raving comments about this cd is a something of a koan to me. I recommend Sanctuary by Riley Lee, which is real Japanese and Zen and is 61:19 minutes long!
4.0 out of 5 stars

I usually have this playing in my home office when my husband doesn't want to listen to my favorite rock station. It's pretty soothing and makes for good background music.
