Review of "Prospects"

@ iTunes
letter arm and sublime, like a lover's soft kiss on the cheek, this is the impression I got from Chris Juergensen's composition "When Love Greets You". Beautifully performed and recorded, this is an enjoyable and relaxing piece of music.

Juergensen displays a supple, graceful approach to the guitar, at times floating and then darting about in a playful and sincere manner. The recording notes on his website describe this as "a blatant love song", and I found his sense of love very evident in his playing.

Backing Juergensen is a tasteful trio: Dale James on bass, Touru Nakashima with some delicate and sweet electric piano textures, and Tetsuya Hoshiyama using brushes on drums to stay appropriately lithe and understated.

My only minor gripe would be that I found the bass a bit buried in the mix; I would have enjoyed hearing the bass a little more clearly present in the overall sound. But otherwise, I would say this recording achieves very well what Juergensen set out to accomplish, displaying his heart on his sleeve with no reservation - nothing shrill or flashy, all just soft and tender, while still clearly skillful and accomplished. When a pretty piece of soft jazz is called for, I can't imagine anything working better than "When Love Greets You".
