Centered on compositions from the prolific Gregg Hill, along with several of his own, he arranged each for this 5-guitar choir of musicians, all connected through years of Napoleon's mentorship, each fully evolved in their own artistry. Whether adding other-worldly harmonic density, lush string-like backgrounds, subtle counter melodies or cascading rhythmic intrigue, \"Waking Dream\" comes across as a one-of-a-kind sonic experience, while still in the mainstream of modern jazz recordings. \"... one of the more admired guitarists today... a superb musician, much sought-after for his idiomatic interpretations.\" RAUL DA GAMA\"... one of the truly premier players on his instrument anywhere. His dexterity, fluid ideas and command of a tricky instrument must be recognized as top drawer.\" Jazz Guitar Today\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 [7:35] Super Moon \u003cbr\u003e1.2 [8:29] the Speckled Frog \u003cbr\u003e1.3 [7:05] Waking Dream \u003cbr\u003e1.4 [7:28] Two Thoughts \u003cbr\u003e1.5 [5:31] Cafe Brasilia \u003cbr\u003e1.6 [5:41] the Singer \u003cbr\u003e1.7 [5:27] 52 Pickup \u003cbr\u003e1.8 [8:07] Riverside Blossoms \u003cbr\u003e1.9 [7:57] Jo Jo Jo \u003cbr\u003e1.10 [5:45] Boom Boom\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Randy Napoleon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41856008781895,"sku":"45312663","price":17.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4438638-3409810.jpg?v=1753872058","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/napoleon-randy-waking-dream-compact-discs","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
