A must for relaxation or meditation. See my review for her CD "Stillpoint." I don't know which one I like better. Great stuff!

For a recording with ONLY the flute, this is Wards finest contribution. .......2006-08-25

Released in 1995 Rhythm Quest Vol. 2 is Ward's second volume of original flute compositions. Recorded in different places that are sacred to Ward this collection continues where the first volume Rhythm Quest left off.

I learned of this special album in a review (which I quote below) that now, after listening to the CD, was by no means overstated.

12 beautiful tracks. Not merely music, but each track is a hymn to the Earth. The winds of Nature blow through Ward's reverent and uplifting flute. Highly recommended.

Critics Review:
Heartsong Review Fall/WINTER No.17
"This collection's gorgeous purity comes from its simplicity. With only Ward and his flute to touch us, we are allowed to form a deep connection with him and his instrument, to hear his "voice". Each piece is a delicately noble creation that showcases his mastery of his instrument and the finer points of melody and structure along with the great ability to transpose his connection to the Great Spirit."

Customer Reviews:

Bravo.......2001-01-30

The first time I heard "Openings" I was in my car listening to the radio, and I was captivated. As soon as it was over, I rushed to a phone to find out what I had been listening to. I think what struck me the most was the amazing blend of voices, and the unique instrumentation (Part 4 brings in a jazz band of sorts with bass, drums, and saxaphone). Joan has a wonderful sense of harmony. She uses the voice's full range of melody and tone like the instrument that it really is. It is a wonderful performance of exquisite compositions.
