"Sun Dance:
Summer Solstice 3"
Returning
to the formula that made the original "Summer
Solstice" a hit, "Sun Dance" is an atmospheric
album with a summer spirit. Standouts include Sean Harkness' "Siempre
Conmigo" (which also appears on Sean's debut album "Aloft"),
George Winston and Keola Beamer's lovely Hawaiian slack-key guitar
duet "Shaka Slack Key", and William Coulter's rendition
of the Shaker classic "I Will Walk With My Children".
Also of note is Will Ackerman's very atypical entry "Just
Dancin' Like Fools".

"Third in the Summer Solstice
series, Sun Dance is an elegiac meandering into longer days, warmer
nights, and the kiss of festivity that lingers for the season.
Featuring pianists Jim Brickman and Liz Story, harpist Lisa Lynne,
guitarist William Coulter, and ensembles such as Angels of Venice
(covering the Rolling Stones' 'As Tears Go By'), Sun Dance dips
into the well of New Age talent, spilling forth a liquid dream-time
soundscape. George Winston and Keola Beamer collaborate on the
Hawaii-inspired 'Shaka Slack Key', and Will Ackerman's finger-picked
'Just Dancin' Like Fools', elegantly supplemented by violin, bass,
and percussion, is a lovely ditty of light and willowy grace.
A word of caution: beware the lazy-making properties of this collection!
It's quite likely that listening will bring on a hankering to
nod off in the sun or ditch that big meeting for an impromptu
berry gathering." --Paige La Grone
