oFF tHE tOP: standards 1 offers up a smooth delicacy of jazz standards on solo guitar. From the opening phrase of There Will Never Be Another You, to the closing riffs of Donna Lee, there is music; music that can be soothing with conversation and dinner, sweet with romance, and still keep your foot tapping. You will hear the saturation of yesterday's swing, and the respect for the timeless vehicles of that era. Building on the styles of guitarists Joe Pass and Wes Montgomery, Singer brings you this tradition of jazz guitar playing on standards 1. It is also music which you will play again and again. Jazz time, the essence of the music's heart, is here in full swing, and in rhythmic latin beats. You can follow the tune, while the spontaneous performance leads you from variation to variation. oFF tHE tOP: standards 1 is an album that can carry you through many parts of your day. Order a copy, sit back, relax and enjoy 72 minutes of peaceful music. ***************************************** Frank Singer has performed, written, arranged and taught music for over 30 years.
