Editorial Reviews
J.R.R. Tolkien once said, "Not all who wander are lost." The pure, angelic voice of Suzanne Brewer wanders into places of enchantment and melancholy solace that is surprisingly spirit-lifting. With jazz-infused melodies and airy vibrations of sound, Prone to Wander exudes style, mystery, and grace. An exquisite work of art.

Album Description
Prone to Wander is an original and creative blend of solo piano work that probes the melodic and harmonic depths of some of some of the great hymns. It's a full 73 minutes of inspirational gems performed solo by this outstanding pianist. There's a depth of maturity and emotion here rarely found in today's newer pianists. Mr. Mutchler has woven his talents as a classically trained but jazz-experienced pianist into something very new and special. His renditions of hymns will appeal to the jazz and New Age listener, stretching each a bit!Customer Reviews:
from Solo Piano Publications.......2002-02-08
I especially like "Oh, For the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus". I'm not familiar with the lyrics to this hymn, but the melody seems to be searching and yet full of hope. Mutchler's rhythmic touches add to the sense of urgency, making this a standout selection on an excellent album! "Jesus Loves Me, This I Know" is given a surprising twist that made me think of Vince Guaraldi. It's amazing that this simple children's Sunday School song could be given such complexity and style! "Amazing Grace" is given almost minimalistic treatment and then expands into a wonderful, easy-going improvisation that meanders in and out of the melody line. It's difficult to come up with an original interpretation of a piece that is heard so often and that has been interpreted by so many varied artists, but Mutchler has succeeded well! Some of the other hymns that are included are "All Creatures of Our God and King", "Blessed Assurance", "Fairest Lord Jesus" (another favorite!), and "Holy, Holy, Holy". The two original songs are "Jesus, Lover of My Soul" and "Under Your Wing (Flying, Soaring)". Both are beautiful and inspiring, but "Under Your Wing" is exceptional. All of the arrangements are low-key enough to be an unobtrusive backdrop for a meeting or quiet time, but do yourself a favor and let the music be the focal point. These wonderful arrangements deserve the listener's full attention, to be savored and enjoyed again and again.
Astonishingly beautiful! I'm buying several more for gifts!.......2001-11-14
