Sound and Shadows is an album by American jazz guitarist Ralph Towner, recorded in February 1977 and released on ECM later that year, Towner's second album with his Solstice quartet, featuring saxophonist Jan Garbarek and rhythm section Eberhard Weber and Jon Christensen.
Reception
The AllMusic review by Michael G. Nastos states, "The playing here by Towner and a group of other ECM artists is what made the label so noteworthy: it is full of elegance and aplomb and the musicians are as aware of space as they are of what fills it."
