Lost and Found is an album by guitarist Ralph Towner recorded in 1995 and released on the ECM label.^[1]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4 stars stating "This is a guitar player's recording, but it is obvious that Towner writes for ensembles equally well, and he has clearly written the vast majority of this recording for this particular ensemble. It's seamless from start to finish; it moves and is far less ponderous than some of his earlier outings; it's a winner for sure".^[2]
