Posting
=======
Posting Plan: David Suns latest album finds him at a new peak of composing with an infusion of beauty and delicate grace. Classical overtones appear intermittently throughout the exquisite tracks, heightened by the inclusion of an impromptu improvisation of the familiar strains of Bachs Jesu, Joy of Mans Desiring.
Reposting Rules: Send any notes/comments to the .new-age group or I won't see it.

Description
================
When The Wave in Los Angeles started defining its approach in station IDs as
smooth jazz, no doubt the programmers had in mind the kind of easy, breezy
passion they'll hear on Adrian Gurvitz's smoothfest Acoustic Heart. In both his
keen melodic sensibilities and silky way with an acoustic riff, Gurvitz pours
on the romance with a vengeance, giving the format any number of solid
individual cuts. Best of all, within each tightly seamed arrangement, he plucks
around with ever so much improv to let us know how jazz efficient he is. While
there's no argument that any handful of his heartfelt valentines make for magnificent listening, there is a downside when it comes to the all-important tracking. There's
simply no variation in tempo from one tune to the next. A few melodies stand
out, but in the end, so much attention is paid to the underlying mellow vibe
that each tasty musical egg yolk kind of runs together with every other.
Gurvitz is a skilled player and composer, that's a given. And, taken a few tracks at a time, the overall impressive display will warm the soul. But a little rhythm with that soul would be nice here and there. -- Jonathan Widran
