Flow

FLOW (Will Ackerman, Fiona Joy, Lawrence Blatt and Jeff Oster) present a fresh, international, acoustic new age sound for a modern world; graceful atmospheric music with a rhythmic ease that transports the listener as each of the eleven sublime tracks melt into the next.

Forty years ago, guitarist/producer Will Ackerman founded Windham Hill, which became a global music phenomenon, with its bountiful legacy of best-selling solo works (George Winston, Liz Story, Alex DeGrassi, Michael Hedges) and award-winning groups like Shadowfax. That magic extends into a truly new age with FLOW, a four-piece ensemble comprised of Grammy-winning guitarist Will Ackerman, and three of today s most acclaimed independent award-winning artists, Australian pianist Fiona Joy, acoustic guitarist Lawrence Blatt and flugelhorn master Jeff Oster.

Recorded, mixed and mastered at Ackerman s Imaginary Road Studios, under the guidance of Ackerman s longtime production partner at Imaginary Road, Tom Eaton, whose contribution the group likens to that of The Fifth Beatle.

Reflecting on FLOW s debut project, Oster says, If you look back into any time of human existence, this need for peaceful breathing and listening has always and will always be deeply important. It s not only New Age music, it is EVERY AGE music!
