Amazon.co.uk Review
A celebrated jazz clarinettist in the 1950s, Tony Scott started collaborating with Japanese artists on a trip he made to the country in 1959; he returned in 1964 to teach classes in American Jazz, and ended up collaborating with koto-ist Shinichi Yuize and shakuhachi flute player Hozan Yamamoto on a dozen improvised collaborations. Based on the Zen concept of Beginner's Mind, a state of openness that leads to exploration, the Scott-led pieces pre-date the more modern concept of 'ambient' by a good couple of decades--but, as music descended from temples and designed to ease the mind to a state of higher consciousness, it follows many of the same directives. The gentle clarinet is complemented by the flute, with the koto--a 13-stringed zither--providing a comfortable contrast, though all three musicians appear on only a single track, the opening "Is Not All One?". --Randy Silver

 Music for Zen Meditatio February 9, 2008

This CD is simply superb. I was a bit concerned about having a clarinet play Zen music, but I needn't have worried. The sound is beautiful. I have been listening to so-called "meditation" music for years, but this is by far the greatest. I find it is not a distraction, like most other music, but is instead calming and stilling. It has inspired me to buy much more of this type of music as it is only now that I realise most of my other so-called "meditation" music was simply not that at all. If you are looking for music to still your mind and create space and beauty, buy this CD. You won't be disappointed.

I, too, have had this CD for some years, and never tire of it. In my opinion, that's because it isn't 'music', in the sense of an entertainment, but a study in sound that can be very helpful in the practice of mindfulness.

I have been listening to this CD for a long time: I never get tired of it! Simply beautiful!
 This quiet music seeks your attention too loud; and is too mournful to be salubrious September 26, 2007

I enjoyed the music, and particularly the innovative use of instruments, but I would not recommend this CD to anyone looking for something to help them relax, particularly if their nerves are in a bad way.
I suppose it depends on what you personally find relaxing: the music floats along adequately, without any shrill surprises, but it can be somewhat hebetudinous in places, which can leave the listener feeling depressed.
In general, the music I find most relaxing has a benign, uplifting dimension, but "Music for Zen Meditation" is too much on the mournful side.
The musical performance is very impressive, but I would say a little self-conscious, and it's not easy to let go and relax when it feels like the artist is seeking your constant approval ("listen to this, you'll like this bit.. wait for it.. that was good, wasn't it!".
If you are looking to relax, I would recommend some carillon music - it does for me!
