"Nymph Suite and Other Stories," 2008 In Lee Westwood's second release, "Nymph Suite and Other Stories", he has been joined by several fellow musicians to form the Lee Westwood Ensemble. The disc features new music composed by Westwood, and is a natural growth from his debut CD, which predominantly comprised of solo guitar works. Most notably, these new compositions share a distinctive mood, which is a common thread throughout the entirety of the disc. While the music has a meditative effect, it is never introverted, as the flute presents the melodic content in a clear direct voice, frequently speckled with delicate tonguing techniques. This peaceful effect is the result rather, of the cyclical, yet tastefully chromatic and paradoxically unpredictable nature of the melodies. Meanwhile, the soundscape is then further enhanced through the support of Westwood's flowing guitar arpeggios, and the haunting sustain of violin and cello. Accompanying the disc is a series of poems and original art, which appears to have inspired Westwood's music. When these various mediums are experienced together, the listener is guided through an artistic journey like none other."
