Lenny Mac Dowell - The Look of Love '2020

Tracks list

Flautist Lenny MacDowell is based in Germany, where hes an integral part of the
local smooth jazz and new age music scenes, as a performer, a producer, and as
owner of the eclectic and productive Blue Flame record label. Although some of
his albums have a heavy crossover pop influence, MacDowells primary style
involves elements of ambient music, world music, jazz, and new age, combined in
varying percentages from album to album.

Born Friedemann Leinert, a name he still occasionally uses as a producer and
arranger, MacDowell was classically trained as a flautist before getting
involved in the fruitful German progressive music scene of the 70s. Stints in
lesser-known Krautrock and progressive jazz bands like Holderlin and saw him
through the 70s, but, by the early 80s, Leinert had struck out on his own and
adopted the name Lenny MacDowell. (Actually, on several sleeves, its spelled
Lenny Mac Dowell for no apparent reason.) MacDowells first solo album was 1984s
Balance of Power, an artsy blend of jazz, rock, and new age featuring the
side-long title track that was clearly heavily inspired by s influential ECM
Records imprint. After that debut, MacDowell turned his attention to launching
Blue Flame Records, spending most of his time producing, arranging and playing
on other peoples projects; as well as releasing the occasional duet album like
1989s Autumn Breath, a minimalist, heavily new age-influenced collaboration with
keyboardist ; and organizing , an on-again, off-again group co-led by
percussionist with more of a world music emphasis. In the meantime, MacDowell
also released sporadic solo records like the disappointing Flute Power, a
misguided stab at crossover jazz-pop marred by terrible covers of songs by and ,
and a much more interesting string of increasingly world music-influenced, new
age-oriented albums akin to trumpeter s work with ; these included 1995s Flying
Torso, 1996s Radioactive (which includes both new material and reworked versions
of older songs), and 1997s impressive The Farthest Shore. ~ Stewart Mason, Rovi
