4 out of 5 stars Awakenings plus more.......2006-08-19

I work for a Fortune 10 company and the pressure can be intense but taking time to refresh by listening to Kevin Asbjornson CD's always brings me back to a better place. If you want to take your mind to the crisp, clear, mountain hour of Colorado Springs enjoy any of Kevin's albums...each new album enhances the experience all the more.

5 out of 5 stars Ten Original Piano Solos composed with Casual Elegance.......2001-05-13

A Colorado-based pianist, soundtrack composer, teacher and activist, Asbjornson has released three CDs of piano solos. He plays with a light, melodic touch that is slightly understated-somewhat like a softer-sounding version of George Winston.

These ten originals are pretty, and push ahead with casual elegance, melody lines and accompanying left-hand figures blending together with a neat momentum. No notes are wasted, and all the phrases move forward into a satisfying total structure.

The unity of effect created within the multilinear compositions is almost classical in the way it seems to present a series of inevitable correct musical choices.

"Heart of a Hero", dedicated to the Colorado Boys Ranch, is typical of this pianist's easy command of multiple inner voices.

5 out of 5 stars A great CD that will you draw you in every time you listen........2001-05-02

I've had the great pleasure of hearing Kevin Asbjornson perform live in two intimate settings recently. I was immediatly captivated by his music and have grown to appreciate this CD even more every time I listen to it.

The compositions flow so smoothly that I can't help but enjoy each melody anew every time I play it. I can hear the emotion that Kevin poured into each song so clearly and each song causes such a reaction within me that it is almost as if he wrote them specifically for me.

It is rare to connect so personally with music and a great treat to do so.

Standout tracks include Turning Point (my favorite), Standing in the Now, Surrender, and the title track, Collage.

I highly recommend this piano solo CD.

5 out of 5 stars Collage by Kevin Asbjornson.......2001-04-11

The piano is (and perhaps will always be) the instrument that offers the best voice for emotional release. Thus, the piano is the perfect instrument for composer Kevin Asbjornson because his heart, and his music, is filled with love, sweetness and healing.

Collage consists of ten songs all composed and played by Kevin...songs this reviewer found to be meditative, transportive and filled with life. Kevin is a master of the piano and as such is able to express his original music in a very tangible way.

Each of his songs offer a guide to fulfillment, enchantment, beauty, honor, serenity and spiritual values. The title song on track seven, for instance, speaks of the variety of people, places, experiences and emotions we all find on life's path.

Song ten, titled Turning Point leads the listener to understand and appreciate achievement from personal commitment and sacrifice. To put it another way, Kevin gives us love which, in his case, is spelled m- u- s- i- c. And no lyrics are necessary because Kevin's music says it all.

If you've been looking for contemporary piano solos that heal...your search is over. Collage by Kevin Asbjornson is an album you'll play over and over again during all the special moments of your life...because Collage will make them special!
