Not sure why I picked this one up. I must have wanted to hear what a flute being played inside a pyramid sounded
like. That should have taken a few minutes at most. This is a double album. But I got through it one more time. The
only instruments on this album are a flute and a piccolo. Wait, is the voice an instrument? There is no singing but
plenty of Om like chants. Maybe that's what you do when you're inside a tomb. Tracks were recorded in different
chambers of the pyramid making this chamber music. Paul Horn is a jazz flautist (I've never understtod that spelling
either) with recordings going back to 1957. This is his 23rd album. Never heard of him before or after. He has
worked with such greats as Duke Ellington, Tony Bennet and Nat King Cole. I guess the industry knows him. I did get
this out of a cut out bin so it must have been a good deal. You can get an even better one. You can pick this album
up for free at 28 Buck Trail, Lancaster Kentucky, USA.
I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM
Worst Track - all
Best Track - none
here's a sample of one of the great vocal performances
