Much like his contemporary George Winston, Jim Brickman has released a series of quiet, contemplative solo piano albums on the new-age label Windham Hill. Brickman's light, lyrical touch and lovely melodic compositions have earned him a dedicated following, and this well-selected Windham Hill sampler proves why. PURE JIM BRICKMAN collects 16 of the pianist/composer's most soothing tracks, focusing on the creation of gentle, mood-enhancing atmospheres. Solo instrumental pieces alternate with soft jazz excursions and the occasional duet (on "Glory," for example, where Brickman is joined by David Benoit, and "Amazing Grace," which features vocalist Ginny Owens). The set acts as a strong introduction to Brickman's aesthetic, and should also satisfy anyone seeking pleasant, relaxing music. Contemporary instrumentalist Jim Brickman take on the new age genre is one of subtlety and gentle, lilting melody. The pianist, composer, and former commercial jingle writer's ten albums for Windham Hill have run the gamut from amorous soundtracks of affection (My Romance: An Evening with Jim Brickman) to children's songs (Disney Songbook). Pure Jim Brickman collects 18 tracks of melodious tranquility that flow together nicely, allowing room for both solo instrumentals and full band workouts to co-exist without ever stepping on each other's toes. Listeners who are new to the genre would do well in giving this fine collection a try. ~ James Christopher Monger Producer: Dawn Atkinson (Compilation) Musical Guests David Benoit   Compilation Appearances Vol. 5-Winter's Solstice Sanctuary: 20 Years Of Windham Hill On A Starry Night Smooth Sounds Windows-25 Years Of Piano On W Greatest Hits Silver Anniversary Edition 10 GREAT CHRISTIAN LOVE SONGS Pure Moods Iv Windham Hill Christmas Prayer A Windham Hill Collection Windham Hill Christmas Ii Lullaby: windham Hill Collection Windham Hill Relaxation Windham Hill Christmas: I'll Be Home For Christmas Cinema: A Windham Hill Collection Walt Disney Presents: Wishes Greatest Hymns Cinderella (Special Edition) Windham Hill Christmas: The Night Before Christmas Princess Christmas Album Essential Winter's Solstice Quiet Revolution:30 Years Of Windham This Is The Season Mary Did You Know:17 Inspirational Ch Ultimate Most Relaxing New Age Piano Christmas Is   Technical Info Release Date : 05/23/2006 Original Release Date : 2006 Catalog ID : 81652 Label : Windham Hill Jazz (USA) Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00828768165225    Related Videos Christmas In The Heart : ...
