Product Description
With the release of this album, Geoffrey Mays' dream has flown. The songs on "Journeys Within and Afar" were mostly inspired by Mays' magical sourjourn to Germany in 1997 with his duo, "The Muse" (with Jay Bishoff). Geoffrey Mays is a master of acoustic and electric guitars, and he uses multi-tracking very effectively on a number of cuts to paint a brilliant aural palette from new age acoustic jazz to rock and funk. This album is a very professional product with special guests on eight of the 14 tunes. On "Journeys Within and Afar," Mays is joined by Mark Schneider (bass), Jason Palmer (drums and percussion), Don Latarski (acoustic guitar solos on two cuts), and Ricky Sweum (saxophone on three cuts). Ila Kreigh vocalizes beautifully on "Highland Breeze," while Elle Hatheway adds her voice to Geoffrey's on "The Red Bird," composed on their seventh anniversary. With a total playing time of over 65 minutes, "Journeys Within and Afar" is a great buy. From the opening riffs on "Aidan's Dream" (written on the day of his nephew's birth) to the closing beat of "High and Dry" (celebrating his time in New Mexico), Geoffrey Mays leads us through a stimulating musical journey of life, inspiration, joy and bliss. Mays takes nature's rhythms, and allows us to feel the circular patterns from within, eliminates illusion as he illuminates his surroundings. "Journeys" hits the bull's eye for delivering some creative goods from ethereal textures to energetic cosmic wavefiles. I give this album two thumbs up. --Joe Ross, Roseburg, OR.
