Here's the not-so-new
"Bridges" CD. Recorded and mixed by Clarke Rigsby at Tempest Studios. Mastered by Dave Shirk at Sonorous Mastering.
Design by Tony Amato at Amato Image Design. Packaged by Andy Beatty at Tempe Tape and Disc.
Here are two reviews...
Reviewer: CD Baby
The beauty of Warren L. Jones III's album, "Bridges" is that one could spend hours picking apart the subtle
touches that give it that special "something", those almost imperceptible nuances of syncopation, the delicate back
and forth conversational strands between guitar and piano, the gentle twist of a melody outlining a surprisingly fresh chord
that pricks the imagination and lifts the eyebrows, the effortless transition between the sly and moody atmospheres transitioning
into the sassy and proud ones- all of these artistic and mind-blowing is components could be explored endlessly, but regardless
it suffices to say that if music theory escapes you, there will be no loss of pleasure or appreciation in listening to this
album. While the ingredients alone are stunning, the final product, the journey of this eleven-track album is thoroughly unforgettable.
Reviewer: A Fan
I came across this CD while randomly browsing here at CDBaby and was wowed when I listened to the samples.
I bought it and now can't stop listening to it. Where did these guys come from?! Every track is superb. The piano is great
and the guitar playing is awesome. The writing is top notch and the standards have great twists. Plus the recording sound
is perfect. Please make a follow-up to this album with the same lineup!
