"The idea for this CD was born from a conversation with the Tibetan Buddhist monk, Geshe Gyatso Gendun. We met at a Buddhist-Christian conference in 1996 and then co-led some Buddhist-Christian retreats at the Empty Bell, a retreat center then located in Watertown, Mass. For several years we talked about bringing together my Zen shakuhachi with a few Tibetan musicians. Finally, in the spring of 2003, we met at Rob Ignazios recording studio near Porter Square in Somerville, Mass. Gendun brought along two friends, Jim Smith, a musician, composer and professor at Berklee School of Music in Boston, and Debbie Szabo, a cantor from Newburyport. Suddenly, instead of integrating the shakuhachi only with Tibetan chants, we were exploring music from a variety of world traditions and making new friends. The vision for this CD eventually expanded to include other musicians...
Many Paths, One Joy is a contemplative journey that celebrates the diversity of the worlds religions and also the awe and wonder that human beings can feel when we make contact with the Divine. I hope that listeners will glimpse in each piece the beauty that is only revealed when we are mindful and have an open heart."
