Only 2 left in stock (more on the way). Digitally remastered reissue of this 1989 album from the former Police guitarist. The Golden Wire is a guitar paced cascade of rock, jazz, blues and classically textured world beat that translates into 11 exquisite numbers. The support crew for the album is intriguing, including cer David Hentschel, Doug Lunn and Yellowjacket Jimmy Haslip on bass, Paul McCandless of Oregon on brass and reeds, drummer Kurt Wortman and, on one transcendent track, Anglo-Indian singer Najma Akhtar; the sound they achieve under Summers' guidance is extraordinary.

Titles such as "The Island of Silk" and "Rain Forest in Manhattan" give a clue as to the almost dreamlike feel Summers is going for. He is largely successful, his uniquely fluid guitar tone combining with instruments such as wooden flute, percussion, oboe, and xianjiang tambourine, while "Piya Tose" features Indian vocalist Najma Akhtar. It's an at once soothing and adventurous album and is highly recommended.
