NARADA SAMPLER NO. 1: MUSIC BY MICHAEL...

NARADA SAMPLER NO. 1: MUSIC BY MICHAEL JONES, DAVID LANZ AND GABRIEL LEE. Michael Jones, David Lanz, pianos; Gabriel Lee, guitar. Narada Records. LP-1007. Here is new music of a beauty which asks for repeated listenings. The piano solos follow the example of George Winston’s “Autumn” recording, yet they add a textural depth Winston has rarely shown. This music speaks softly, yet holds the listener with a rainbow of harmonies and rhythms which swell and subside. The yearning harmonies in the chords opening Jones’ “Mexican Memories” cast their print upon the mind with particular insistence.
