Wow!
author: A FanI 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 supurb. The piano is great and the guitar playing is awesome. The wirting 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!

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 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.
