5 out of 5 stars A local surprise.......2006-11-21

I am from the DC area and had never heard Rick Whitehead until he did a brief appearance on a local radio station during their fund drive. I was so impressed I'm thinking about booking him for a private party next year. I bought this CD at a closeout sale at Tower Records and it is a gem.

Rick brings a great facility to the art of solo guitar. He is technically brilliant but you are not distracted by it--it's all about the music, not the chops. He does straightforward but fresh versions of several standards, except for a rather unconventional and somewhat outside version of Wave, which only hints at the melody. As a guitarist, I envy those that can really pull off an entire CD of solo work of rich harmony and improvised lines without leaving big, gaping holes. I enjoy this CD even more than Joe Pass's Virtuoso series, though it may be sacrilege to say so. Rick has such a mastery of harmonic structure and voice leading that you forget that you are listening to only one man playing six strings. I would recommend this CD to any jazz guitar lover, and if you're in the D.C. area you'll want to see him live.

If you're anything like me you spend a lot of time just waiting for more music from the artists you know and love and rarely find new music that surprises. And it's not that I am ultra conservative. Anyway, here is a piece of music that might appeal.

I guess what's nice about Phil Okrend's music is that it may well escape classification, by that I mean, the music should have broad appeal. Lot's of pretty melodies, unassuming, unobtrusive ... dinner notes. And my own favourite tracks, Dunns River Falls and Remembering. Enjoy.

5 out of 5 stars Fabulously smooth, like apricot brandy.......2000-06-10

The tones on this disc waft from the speakers like a smooth wisps of smoke from peach flambee. The sounds remind me of a nice vintage port, 1977. Michel Cluizel chocolate also comes to mind. Goes well with sauteed prawns, baby greens, and parmesan risotto. Bon appetit!
