| | 20 Years Of Narada Piano CD
As its title suggests, the double-disc collection 20 Years of Narada Piano gathers highlights from the label's roster of pioneering new age pianists, including Wayne Gratz, Michael Jones, Michael Gettel, and Ira Stein. Jones' "Endings," Gratz' "Dark Eyes," and Gettel's "Orcas" are among the first disc's highlights, along with Mia Jang's "Water Circles," Shelia Larkin's "Poetic Justice," and Spencer Brewer's "Ghost Mountain." Disc two features Fred Simon's "Sister Bay," Michael Whalen's "First Light," Bradley Joseph's "The Glen," and Bob Read's "Turning." This smoothly sequenced collection of soothing piano pieces reaffirms Narada's place as one of the leading labels for new age/contemporary instrumental music, and 20 Years of Narada Piano will appeal not only to fans of the artists and the label, but anyone looking for some creative and relaxing mood music. ~ Heather Phares

Despite the title, Bluesified is as much a gospel album as a blues album, and it shows Ernie Hawkins taking a step closer to the masterful level of blues-and-spirituals versatility set by his two main influences, Reverend Gary Davis and Blind Willie McTell. As he did on his previous two solo albums, Hawkins pays considerable homage the Davis canon here, with achingly good results on "I Belong to the Band" (sung by guest vocalist Maria Muldaur) and a 12-string rendition of "Crucifixion" into which Hawkins also weaves the melody of "Jesus Gonna Make Up My Dying Bed." But whereas 1996's Blues Advice presented Hawkins in more of a revivalist mode, Bluesified has him stretching out, experimenting with musical roots ranging from prewar jazz to country to African folk songs. In the end, Hawkins still puts on a formidable ragtime guitar clinic -- but he's obviously got a lot on his mind besides the blues. ~ Ken Chang
"Hawkins remains one of the most respected of American fingerpickers." www.bluesfreepress.org.ukErnie Hawkins, Pittsburgh based acoustic guitar virtuoso, plays and sings blues, ragtime, and gospel. His riveting music springs mostly from the early 1900’s east coast Piedmont and Texas steel-string flattop fingerpicking styles. In performance Ernie captivates the audience by infusing his articulate and dynamic personal style while communicating the tradition of this intricate and complex style. “Ernie Hawkins is an important link in the unbroken chain of blues and gospel artists. His guitaristry and love of the style is incomparable. From the Rev. Gary Davis into the future with his own style Ernie is one of the special ...
