From the vibrancy of the opening number "Delightful Journey", to the reflective calm of "Spirit of America", to the lively, toe-tappin' "Boogie on Down the Road", "Sunburst of Sound" is a delight and a crowd pleaser for people of all ages and backgrounds.

Lifesaver For Those Sick of The Radio.......2006-05-29

I really appreciate good R&B; of course my definition of "good" means a nice beat, smooth vocals, and sharp production. But no matter how good a song is, it can "get old" very quick when you hear it on the radio, in the mall, on TV, in the club, etc. I've noticed that with R&B, the pool of pickings seems slim - and today I can listen to all those Boyz II Men, Jodeci, Tweet or Mary J. Blige songs from 2 years ago when I couldn't then. A treat is to see up-and-coming acts in the genre, but that's a rarity in Miami (dearth of soul/R&B musicians here...)

So I picked this CD up, just out of curiousity. I was expecting some interesting music - a conversation piece. But in two weeks, I've played the CD everywhere - in my house, the car, the iPod. It's a superb sampler that is diverse (the British music scene is a bit more ecclectic that the US) with hip-hop, deep club mixes, R&B singles, and neo-soul ballads occupying the same disc. Some special treats are "Be Thankful" - a remake of the 70's gem by Omar & Angie Stone; "L.O.V.E." by Terri Walker that sounds like it should be a R&B chart topper over on these shores (Beyonce, eat your heart out honey!); "This Thing" by D'nell which is a perfect mix of classic soul and modern remix techniques...but one of my favorites is "The Action" by 4hero; and excellent track that reminds you of De La Soul (well actually, it's Butterfly from Digable Planets on vocals - but I don't know if as many people remember Digable Planets!)

So if you enjoy "indie" neo-soul and hip/hop, and/or you are a DJ looking for solid tracks that aren't being played on the radio, this disc is for you. I'm curious to check out the other CDs in this series as well!

from Solo Piano Publications.......2002-04-07

David Berriman's second collection of piano solos is a warm and cozy listening experience. With ten original tracks and four covers, "Sunburst of Sound" is actually more consistent in mood from start to finish than the eclectic "Angels' Playground". Most of the pieces are smooth, easy-going songs-without-words that carry an optimistic and contented feeling. "Boogie On Down the Road" is probably my favorite track. Berriman has a great handle on boogie and ragtime rhythms and styles, and plays them with a spirit of fun and good humor. "Follow Your Heart" is a sweet and heartfelt ballad, possibly coaxing a loved one to spread his or her wings. "Don't Feel Lonely" is another favorite. Berriman's style often reflects the influence of Floyd Cramer, as this piece does, with a simple melody line and uncluttered accompaniment, creating a beautiful, emotionally reassuring piece. I also like "A Love So Rare".

I was disappointed that Berriman chose to include synth strings as a background accompaniment to most of the pieces. (If you've read many of my reviews, you know that I have a very strong aversion to synth strings!) Fortunately, these are mostly washes to add color and are fairly unobtrusive, but Berriman's pianism is strong enough and doesn't need these embellishments. I'm also wondering if the world needed another solo piano recording of Pachelbel's "Canon in D" - this one is based on George Winston's arrangement. (Or maybe it's just me. As a piano teacher, I teach that old workhorse all the time, and tend to cringe when it crosses my path!) The other covers are "Theme from `A Summer Place'", "Here Comes the Sun", and "The Wind Beneath My Wings". All are very nice arrangements, but Berriman's original work is much stronger and more personal. In his defense, Berriman is looking for playing gigs for weddings and other events, and these are frequently-requested pieces.

This a great album to relax with, to have as a warm backdrop for a nice dinner, and it's terrific driving music for in the car. Very enjoyable and easy to access.
