Heaven was inspired by the possibility of bringing the listener to that place after death or in life where one experiences peace. It is a tribute to my teacher Swami Satchidananda who passed away in August 2002. Twenty years ago he asked me to make an album to help people become peaceful and relaxed. This is my tenth flute recording following his advice, and is a fond farewell to the incredible soul who gave me and the world so much peace. May you capture a glimpse of his greatness in this music.
Alto and C flutes, recorder, glockenspiel (Radhika Miller), piano, marimba, accordion, dumbek, shaker (Tony D’Anna), cello (David Darling), mandolin (Peter Rowan), tamboura (Leslie Curchack), acoustic guitar (Chip Dunbar).
