Breath-Sight: Yearning for the Bell, Vol. 1

The first disc in a seven-CD survey of the medieval shakuhachi lineage of meditational melodies known as honkyoku—the first time this complete body of music has been recorded. Riley Lee’s playing is exceptional throughout.

The Eagle and the Ocean

Riley Lee is a master shakuhachi player, and this disc is the fruit of a studio meeting with guitarist Geoff Ween-Vermazen: a set of ambient-style improvisations. Definitely soul-food here.
