Customer Reviews:

A beautiful sound.......2007-01-26

It has a beautiful sound, and it is really nice for enjoying a quiet evening in front of the fire.

A Time To Rest, A Time To Listen.......2005-03-23

I've been listening to this recording for a month now with an eye to reviewing it. There was always something else to review first. In my book, if something stands up to a month of listening, it's pretty good.

Seascapes is one of Jones earlier albums. As Jones developed he became more melody oriented, but his earlier work has a lighter, almost jazzy touch. There is more experimentation and "going with the music" than what was to come. This isn't a criticism of what he became, but Seascapes offers a vision all its own.

Listen to Solitude, or Beyond the Dream. It sounds improvisational, even if it isn't. And the silences are just as important as the music. This a lot is more than just sophisticated elevator music, or New Age meditation music. Jones, and fellow pianist George Winston, is at the forefront of this kind of style, and well worth listening to. I know the titles are a bit pretentious, but the artistry is there never the less.

10 years of magic.......2003-02-06

I have had this CD for 10 years, and it is still my favourite above all. The music enables you to shut your eyes to both remember the past and plan for the future. If you like quiet piano music, this CD is a must.

This is a must-have for anyone's New Age piano collection.......2002-09-17

I love these piano compositions. They are distinguished from others of the New Age piano genre by their length and complexity--sounding almost like a symphonic tone poem for solo piano. Mr. Jones is an extremely talented composer and performer, and this CD is a real classic.

Nobody like Michael Jones.......2001-11-30

There is nobody like him. I listen to his CDs at the office to relax myself from stress. Michael Jones is little known, but the best piano player. Buy this and his other CDs if you like relaxing music. There's nothing else like it out there.
