Shadowfax

Lao Tzu claimed, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."  If ever there were a single step in the history of this musical style, it began with Shadowfax, one of the earliest and best-known groups responsible for effecting and evolving the momentum of this genre.

Formed in 1972 by saxophonist Chuck Greenberg, guitarist G. E. Stinson and bassist Phil Maggini, Shadowfax's mix of eclecticism and accessibility has garnered a devout following as diverse as its music.  The group's universal appeal comes largely from its inventive mixture of chamber jazz, folk, and world music, the result of which is an immediately recognizable sound that takes its listeners on a journey across geographical boundaries.  From exotic landscapes to vivid dreamscapes and intricate soundscapes, Shadowfax is truly in a category of its own.
