5 out of 5 stars Surpassing musicality.......2001-06-25

This CD gives many examples of stellar musicianship. John Mark Piper plays well beyond the notes on the page. Every song is different, and they each have their own story to tell. He is able to reach out to people through his music, which takes an encredible amount of talent and dedication to accomplish. His tone quality on each song is outstanding. The dampening technique he uses lets the melody sing out. He plays difficult pieces, and adds his own personality to them not only by writing them himself, but by improving them by playing them a little differently everytime he performs. He is an amazing performer and vibist which set this CD up for success before he had begun recording. I recommend this CD to any and all musicians who come across it.

5 out of 5 stars Best of the new contemporary vibests!.......2000-06-29

Warning! This CD is not a rehash of an old approach. Piper takes solo vibraphone to a new and different level. His style is sensitive, rhythmic and highly listenable. He plays for the music. Piper pulls off what few vibe players have been able to do - record a solo album that is enjoyable from start to finish. Put it on for your friends and watch them ask - "That's really nice. Who is that?" That's John Mark Piper.

5 out of 5 stars The Definitive Solo Vibraphone Recording!.......2000-03-14

It's safe to say that this recording defines the sound of the vibraphone that vibraphonists have been longing for for most of last century and definitely all this century. But the sound can only be driven by the virtuosic hands of John Mark Piper. This recording sounds more like a solo piano one than a vibraphone. That's the beauty of Piper's ability to make the vibraphone sound so versatile and broad. As a jazz musician, this cd is as important to my library as Miles Davis' Kind of Blue -- you simply must know these albums to even begin to know jazz.
