"Color My Soul" by Matthew (Jazz Artist from California(CA))

Keyboardist and composer Matthew's 2nd CD, "Color My Soul," continues his Easy Listening / Contemporary Jazz explorations over the course of 10 songs as soothing as they are satisfying. On his new album, Matthew offers up a mix of original piano-led instrumental tunes that hover in the New Age / Adult Contemporary realms, but shakes things up a little with a couple nice vocal tracks ("My Child" and "Letting Go") from a fine r&b-oriented female vocalist, and a sax-led slice of loungiana ("Saxuality") that brings just the right touch of after-hours ambience. "After the Rain," with its very pretty acoustic guitar accompaniment, and the title-track, "Color My Soul," capture the essence of Matthew's composition and performing strengths, delivering lilting and memorable melodies to complement whatever you're doing, or simply to help you relax and enjoy a fine glass of wine with a friend or lover. In all, Matthew's fine "Color My Soul" CD is a beautiful and relaxing musical soundscape for fans of Adult Contemporary and Contemporary Jazz music.

"Stories Told" by Andy Mason (Country Artist from San Francisco, California(CA))

Andy Mason turns in a compelling and seasoned effort on his fine new CD, "Stories Told," a stripped-down, 9-song set of original contemporary folk songs. Sounding, at times, much like veteran singer-songwriter, Loudon Wainwright III, the San Francisco-based Mason dashes off hooks and intriguing narratives with the ease and carelessness of one who has plenty to spare. Comparable to - but not as laid back as - Jack Johnson, Mason's best songs, like "Glowin Ember" and "Dark Eyed Junco," come ready-equipped with the kind of melodies that are both immediate and lasting. Other terrific numbers, like "Teatime" and "Piano Chords," find the folk singer weaving words and spinning yarns with the acumen of a practiced storyteller. With only minimal accompaniment, Mason's bright and ringing acoustic guitar sets the tone for all his songs, but it's his wayfaring troubadour's voice that sets these performances apart from many a singer. For fans of Dylan, Steve Goodman, John Prine, or Steve Forbert, Andy Mason's "Stories Told" CD continues the tradition of meaningful and endearing American folk music.
