Album Description* Tides Between Us is reflective of the time Scott Cossu has spent traveling along the waters of the Puget Sound and the Straits. * A portion of the proceeds from this CD will go to the People For Puget Sound, a nonprofit group working to protect and restore the health of Puget Sound and the Northwest Straits. * Musician, composer, and recording artist Scott Cossu defies categorization. His background in jazz and R&B--combined with his years of classical training and his study of ethnic music from Sudan, Thailand, China, Romania and Ecuador--result in a unique music that he has performed in concerts worldwide since 1981. * Cossu has produced many successful albums and has toured the world, giving more than 1,000 concerts. His work also includes scores for the acclaimed PBS series Nova, film documentaries, and nature videos. * Cossu was one of the first artists signed by Will Ackerman for Windham Hill Records. He recorded for that label for over 10 years. "Cossu wraps impressionistic music in refreshing wit." -- San Diego Union-Tribune "Cossu is a gifted musician whose full-bodied chords and sweet improvisations can be rapturous or rambunctious." -- Audio magazine "The music's naturalness and honesty make it refreshing." -- Keyboard magazine
