Vinyl LP pressing. An ECM artist for his entire career, U.S. guitarist Ralph Towner has built a unique body of work in his recordings for the label. Central to his oeuvre are his solo albums, the first of which, Diary was issued 50 years ago. At First Light extends this great tradition, drawing inspiration from a broad palette of music. In addition to his own pieces, Towner also plays Hoagy Carmichael's "Little Old Lady," Jule Styne's "Make Someone Happy" and the traditional tune "Danny Boy."
