Stillpoint is the moment between thoughts, when all mental chatter ceases and the clarity of absolute mind emerges from within. Stillpoint is also an album of original music and a book of short stories from Latin Grammy-winning producer, writer, and Zen practitioner, Barrett Martin. Building on his previous two books that also came with musical soundtracks (The Singing Earth 2017, The Way Of The Zen Cowboy 2019), Stillpoint is a stand alone studio album, but it also serves as the soundtrack for Barrett's 3rd book in the series titled, Stillpoint: Reflections From A Year On The Cliff.

For those who don't know, Martin has a long and acclaimed line of credits as both...

    Midwest Record writes.....BARRETT MARTIN GROUP/Stillpoint: There's something about the far reaches of Washington state that seems to keep music coming from that place where the lines between new age and lite jazz blur in a pure, non clichéd state.
