Album Notes

Love Is The Answer Aurora - Ballads Performance: 4- Sound: 4-

"O's Notes: Chris plays piano and sings on this upbeat collection of songs that swing. It's mostly instrumental versions of popular classics like "Song For My Father" with a few nice vocal arrangements like "The Shadow of Your Smile" and "Nature Boy". It's soft, relaxing and a nice backdrop for your next dinner party." O's Place Jazz

"Love is more than the answer; it's also the sound..........
Unassuming, with power - this album is full of stuff like that...a very solid effort, and the cure for what ails you."
- John Barrett Jr., Green Mt.Jazz Messenger/Jazz Improv

"This is a great album!"
- Horace Silver

"'Love Is The Answer' is really an example of high quality presentation of jazz music, which shows the fine art of good arranging and composing. Without a doubt,the improvising on the album is top notch. From my first listen,I knew that I would play it right away. I recommend the record to you as part of your own collection."
