Turning: Turning Back

Windham Hill credits Scott Saxon with producing and engineering it, Stan Ricker with mastering, and notes that every piece is by de Grassi; one snippet attributes the production to Will Ackerman, which we could not resolve. The sessions were first meant for a planned Windham Hill fingerstyle anthology, which became the debut. The label's tracklist dates each piece: "Turning" 1976, "Swordfish" 1977, "Luther's Lullaby" 1975, "Blood and Jasmine" 1977, "Window" 1976, "Children's Dance" 1974, "Waltz and March of the Rhinoceri" 1975, "Alpine Medley" 1971 to 1973, "Autumn Song" 1975 and "Turning Back" 1977. The critic Lee Underwood called it a classic of the genre. Reviewers have named John Renbourn, Bert Jansch and Keith Jarrett's solo piano among the influences.
