Yr- Steve Tibbetts (Frammis);
Safe Journey- Steve Tibbetts (ECM).
Very beautiful music. Original and unusual with the same artists on both albums tho they were made 4 years apart. Tibbetts is a multi-instrumentalist string player (guitars, keyboards, dobro and sitar, for example) and the composer of all the selections. His band mates include a bassist and percussion players to include drums, congas, tablas, etc. And it all works wonderfully. You've not heard anything like it. The latter is typical ECM, warm and lush sounding. The former is more open, dimensional and dynamic. That one was recorded at Atma-Sphere in Minneapolis by associates of amp designer Ralph Karsten. Try it. It can be purchased directly from the artist. I don't think you'll regret it.
