After a very succesful period in mid to late '70s and aswell in early '80s, this famous musician
recorded in 1987 The gift of time. Well, even the album is quite ok, in perfect JLP tradition, is
little pale in comparation with Mystical adventure for instance. The sound is in places very flat,
but some compositions from here save the album to be just an ordinary album from that period , when
most of the listners were towards hard/heavy. Pieces like New Resolutions, Between Sea and Sky or
the title track are perfect examples of JLP jazz fusion smothness from that period. The violin is
simple but well performed, the pieces are no longer very elaborated, but not simple for sure
either.. The album has that '80 production, but is not a bad thing, is ok nothing more. The melodic
lines are ok, the musicianship aswell ok, only that overall the album doesn't get to the greatness
of Mystical or Enigmatic ocean. To me was a pleasent release, who desearves 3 stars easy, good but
nothing really awesome.
