This is a previously unreleased recording from the late '70s by
Bob Downes Open Music
. Bob Downes is a multi-instrumentalist composer possessing a distinctive musical personality and prowess. Through bodily breath emanates sublime sounds from an array of flutes, poignant patterns from his alto and tenor saxophone performances, and engaging expressions of complimentary vocalizations. Open Music is the moniker under which Bob has produced an eclectic range of records since 1968. However, none of the above prepares the listener for the profoundly engrossing experience that is
Crossing Borders
. Composed during an extended tour throughout South America in 1973, and evocative of the exotic locales encountered,
Crossing Borders
is a compendium of musical precision, mysticism, and tranquility. During the late '70s Bob Downes produced a beautifully warm analog recording of his programmatic vision, colluding with contemporaries guitarist
Brian Godding
, trombonist
Paul Rutherford
, bassists
Barry Guy
,
Mark Meggido
and
Paul Bridge
, and drummers
Denis Smith
and
John Stevens
. Thirty years later, this unreleased record finally sees the light of day, and it has aged like a fine wine. A recording this special comes deservedly wrapped with our highest recommendation for everyone prepared to cross musical borders!
