Avalon Sutra (2004)
CD cover
Harold's final solo release is a double package of somber, ambient tracks and enlighten themes of reflection. His dedications within the titles of the songs tells the listener that he has made his piece. And we are grateful for the incredible journey that he has taken us on. Even with the introduction of a soprano sax that threatens to move into some quasi- John Tesh territory, this cd has some of his most creative and emotional work.
