AMG Review of Tao of Peace

Jim Brenholts
All Music Guide

Tao of Peace is a multi-purpose and multi-level creation from Dean Evenson (silver flute and keyboards) and Li Xiangting (gugin [Chinese zither] and xia [vertical bamboo flute]). Guest musicians include Dudley Evenson (hand harp and tamboura), Phil Heaven (viola), Brian Cisneros (percussion), and Jason Darling (chimes and bells). These smooth and dreamy atmospheres are divinely inspired and connected. Evenson and Xiangting created them specifically for enhancement of the healing arts. The flutes and strings are gentle and soft. The soundscapes enter the listeners' hearts and souls. This is healing music as only Evenson can do it. This CD will appeal to fans of Lisa Lynne, Jonathan Goldman, Al Gromer Khan, Riley Lee, and Xumantra.
