Chiaroscuro presents the long out-of-print 1977 debut album by influential three-time Grammy-winning keyboardist, composer and arranger Gil Goldstein, released on CD and digital for the first time. This wide-ranging session includes duo, trio and fusion arrangements of Goldstein's original compositions. Produced by Fred Miller, 'Pure As Rain' features an all-star lineup that includes bassist Jeff Berlin, drummers Bob Moses and Steve Smith, percussionist Ray Barretto and harmonica great Toots Thielemans, plus cameo appearances by vocalist Mary Eiland and producer Fred Miller in a duo on English horn.

Goldstein's many collaborations over the years have included Pat Metheny ('Map of the World' and 'From This Place'), Michael Brecker, and Gil Evans. His film composer credits include 'Radio Inside' (1994) and 'Simply Irresistible' (1999).

This eight track CD includes the original LP artwork, and was remastered from the original analog tapes.
