JD's 5th, and most extraordinary, recording brings yet another shift in his musical vision. While maintaining many of the "minimalist" elements of "Brief Light," the tuned percussion ostinatas, and multiple interlocking guitar parts, "Things Behind The Sun" offers a much jazzier element than any of his CDs. Featuring Tony Levin and Vinny Sabatino, "Things Behind The Sun" is Durant's most guitaristic recording to date, offering glimpses of chordal work never before heard on JDs records. In many pieces the customary cloud guitars have been replaced with layered voicings across intricate chord progressions that bring to mind such diverse influences as Eberhard Weber and Allan Holdsworth.

Rarity
author: Brandon Stuhl
I begin listening to every record I hear with the bias of being a percussionist and drummer. Its rare to find a record thtat really offers me something as a player. There is only a handful that I can sit down with behind a kit and play along with and truly feel like i can connect with all the small details in the arrangment and that Mr. Durant is speaking to me as an audience as well. Of course it helps to have Tony Levin on bass. Great record.

Ambient, expansive, far-reaching, progressive jazz fusion that doesn't shy away from the intimate and dives without hesitation into the adventurous. With swirling guitars, thick bass and minimalistic, cyclic grooves, the album encircles the listener with an aromatic, dewy atmosphere. Jon Durant weaves a moody, feeling sound tapping into new age and pop writing- one might even hear distant echoes of something Sting-like. This is jazz fusion at its most expressive and colorful.
