If you enjoy well performed sax solos backed by gently, sensitive orchestral sounds, occasionally with voices too, then this CD could be for you. Part of the Worship Without Words series, this recording from America has 12 tracks of well known hymns. Arrangements by Kim Costanza (soloist), Ed Clydesdale and A Smouse amongst others have a soulful feel and are expertly brought to us in such a way to draw one into the presence of the Lord. Familiar sounds drift through the airwaves with some lovely intros and improvised fills to produce a relaxing atmosphere for mediation or as a background to whatever else one may choose to do while listening. Tracks include "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus", "Amazing Grace", "Old Rugged Cross", and "How Great Thou Art".
