"Sapphire" is the fifth single in the "Precious Stones Series" by Al Jewer (flutes) and Andy Mitran (synths) along with cellist Hans Christian. Quoting their promotional material: "'Sapphire' is a dreamy tapestry of flutes and cellos set in a bed of soothing synth pads and patterns that evoke calm, dreamy and peaceful images. A layered exploration like a wakeful dream." And that is, indeed, a very accurate description of this very smooth and hypnotic piece! Who couldn't use a gentle mind massage from time to time (or more often!)?!?! More ambient than melodic, the cello, flutes and synths float around and weave within each other, creating a rich listening experience with full attention or very easy-going background music that will make you feel better either way.

"Sapphire" can be downloaded or streamed on Amazon, Bandcamp and Apple Music/iTunes. It can also be streamed on Spotify and Pandora. Be sure to give it a listen!
