Excellent Interpretations.......2007-01-19

While another reviewer has castigated this album by describing what it is not (i.e. a Steve Hackett album), I hope listeners will realize what it is: a uniquely executed interpretation of Genesis music performed by an individual who has intimate knowledge of it. (Stuermer has in concerts faithfully played to Genesis fans the guitar riffs as presented to him without seeking to seize for himself a place within the band or supplant the members for whom he stands in.) I hope others will refrain from judging Stuermer for who he isn't, and I hope that they too hear beautifully rendered glosses on the music of a long-lived band (a band performing long after SH's departure, and even welcoming him back [with Peter Gabriel]). While I do share the afore mentioned reviewers love of Steve Hackett's musicianship (owning all of his solo materials [some in remastered editions]), I also appreciate Stuemer's own treatment of the music he's shared in playing. So I apologize to DS for mentioning others in this review of his work, and encourage others to add his album to their Genesis-related collections as well.

great guitarist.......2005-09-28

well while I have not listened to this album, I know from listening to his stuff with phil, and live with genesis, he is on the same level as hackett, plus he has the jazz, and fusion background that hackett does not, and alot can be accounted for fusion, and jazz is more groove oriented stuff, with alot of chops, and stretching out just like prog rock, but really I love both players styles, but daryl can speed pick anything as fast as hackett, and he writes great songs, look at huis work with phil collins, you can say what you want about pop music and laugh it up about how cheesy it is, when your attitude is cheesy, songs about life and love have a place, and phils music incorporates more styles than one, if you you think this music of 80's genesis, or phils solo stuff well check the sales, the quality of the production, and the well crafted songs, its bolagna you think only heavy music is great, your opinion your intitled to but throwing well structured music into the sucks category, you better wake up and realize the garbage fast food commercial of today compared to the 80's is a large difference, the musicians, and singers are average, they choose to be, or in the case do not have the talents to sing, but can shake there but well, or dress sleazey, and [...] around with men, and women, i am sick of hearing that anything but one style of artist, or music sucks, go get an education in music, study other artists, and music forms your comments about daryl, phil, and 80's genesis, is baseless, and corny, what session are you playing on, have you had any success selling albums, playing before tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands, have you studied music theory well, and can really say steurmer sucks, well then your ear, and mind must reek of hypocrisy, long live great musicians like steve hackett, and daryl steurmer, and great session artists from l.a, and new york like steve gadd, jimmy johnson (bass), michael landau (guitar), dann huff (guitar), abe laboriel sr ( bass), vinnie colaiuta (drums), steve taviglione ( sax) walt fowler (trumpet), and more also world session players, old and new classic jazz, and fusion, prog rock, miles davis, frank zappa, and many others!!!

Order was filled and processed so rapidly, that gratification was indeed instant. Five-plus star rating!
Happy-Happy, Joy-Joy, Regards, Lou

Another side of who?.......2004-07-17

Daryl is not a great guitar player and will never add up to Steve Hackett. Daryl picked all the stupid songs to play to. Avoid this cd and Get Steve Hackett's "Genesis Revisited". Steve Hackett is a WRITTER, a professional player and a true Genesis member that sayed to the true Genesis sound; while, all this guy did was strum strings for the Phil Collins band.

Excellent covers of classic Genesis music.......2004-07-09

The previous review not withstanding, this collection is an excellent collection of instrumental covers from Genesis at their commercial peak. Yeh, all Daryl did was play the guitar for them on tour...but boy can he play! I love genesis and I love this smooth jazzy mix of music that I already love. The tracks however do not lose their rock edge. Smart move, Daryl. An excellent, and may I say respectful, tribute album. This album continues to be one of my top cd's. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys both Genesis and smooth jazz.

Spectacular technique, Original interpretation.......2006-05-12

This is one of the best jazz recordings I've ever heard.
Skye's taste is impeccable, his musicianship stunning. This is an album of standards, but with each song, he manages a fresh new take on melody, rhythm, and overall interpretation. Not showy or flashy, but at the appropriate times, Skye rips through arpeggios and scales with blistering speed and absolute precision. All the while keeping a moving bass line through each number, giving the entire work a bluesy, comfortable feeling.

Not a weak song in the collection. Buy it.

Perfectly gorgeous jazz interpretation.......2003-01-04

Having heard Eric Skye play live, I purchased his CD - and was thrilled by the sheer lushness of the recording. His impeccable technique will amaze you, and his emotional style will work your heart.
A virtuoso like Eric Skye comes along once in a lifetime. Buy this disc - I guarantee you'll want to share it with everyone you know.

Great music.......2002-09-14

First of all, this guy can flat out play. His ability to carry that moving bass line while playing a jazz melody is amazing. For me, this CD is a great introduction to solo fingerstyle acoustic guitar jazz.

Monster Jazz Guitar!.......2002-09-06

An incredible talent - this guy will blow you away. His arrangements are so fresh and unique that they make the old standards glow, and his technique is out of this world. Another plus - the recording is so clean, you will think Eric Skye is in the room with you - and that's a very, very good thing.
