A haunting and imaginative work filled with grace, style, innovation, and touching on world musical themes with jazz and classical motifs. AMERICAN REST will fascinate jazz listeners who enjoy the creative compositions of American composer George Flynn. Created for mixed piano quartet, this work contains 27 tracks and has a playing time of 61:00 minutes.

The performances by every musician is firstrate. Solo work is superb.

AMERICAN REST is a musical meditation on the American experiences in the Vietnam War, a war which the United States lost in 1975. This is a remarkable listening experience, one that will linger in the minds of the listeners for a long time. You can feel the intensity of every solo. Excellent.
