Review: An ambitious 2-disc set with a unique concept and superb execution. Every track on the first disc could be a favorite. Each track is inspired by Dickinson's poetry. The first disc is all instrumental. The second disc incorporates actual lines from the poems. The playing shifts from ethereal to hard bop.
