Saxophonist best known for his work with Bruce Springsteen who had previously done some pop soul albums here tries a out and out jazz instrumental record.
You are likely to find this instrumental album in either the Jazz or New Age sections of the record store.
Tenor saxophonist Clarence Clemons creates attractive mood music that matches an unusually smooth sax sound (especially for him) with a variety of percussion instruments so broad that the list of them in the album's booklet concludes "... and some other stuff we can't pronounce or spell."
It makes for an eclectic selection of music appropriate for the all usual new age functions, from meditation to cooking.
His 1995 album, Peacemaker, is a slow, peaceful, meditative offering.
At its base, Clemons is merely soloing over soft percussion, mostly non-western in origin.
This is night music, the kind free from worry and other noises, the kind that can mingle in the shadows of your house or apartment and breathe life into the mysterious places in your soul.
In the spirit of John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme, this album is Clemons’s thank you to God for bestowing upon him the talent to play sax.
