In this superb release, Cary combines his warm, lyrical style on the 7-string guitar with Etsuko Sakai on the 13-string japanese koto. With her flawless technique, Etsuko adds a wonderful new dimension to Cary's playing. The two combine seamlessly to take the listener on a wonderful journey through Cary's own compositions and his arrangements of traditional Japanese tunes. An absolute must for Cary fans and anyone who enjoys simply beautiful music! Dear Cary, I received a copy of your latest CD, A Fresh Wind. for Mother's Day and I felt I just had to contact you and tell you how absolutely brilliant it is. We have listened to it over and over and each time marvel at just how beautiful the music is. Congratulations to you and Etsuko Sakai on a truly enjoyable CD. Thanking you, Jan
