Editorial Reviews
Review
No matter how high the technical bar has been raised for aspiring guitarists, one simple fact remains: musicality is what matters. Teriver Cheung, age 27, has found ways to transcend a chops-centric approach and create music full of breath, space and surprise. On My Nocturne, his auspicious debut, he reveals himself as a player of great skill but also poetic sensitivity. He can do difficult, yes: his single-note lines generate heat and friction, leaping across intervals, avoiding the obvious. But it s the lyricism, the rhythmic idiosyncrasy and above all the personal quality of his writing and improvising that makes Cheung an artist to watch. --David R. Adler
Hong Kong native and University of North Texas grad Teriver Cheung reveals a gentle touch and a mature, composerly approach on his first recording as a leader. Accompanied by bassist Linda Oh, alto saxophonist Andrew Gould and his former North Texas schoolmate Ross Pederson on drums, guitarist Cheung (a onetime child prodigy on piano) demonstrates an impressive command of his instrument, though his chops are tempered by his penchant for warm-toned lyricism and team play, as on the opener Fragile, the lightly swinging, waltz-time number Wishes, the graceful rubato number Caught Up and the title track. Other highlights include a radically reharmonized, rhythmically reconfigured version of the Johnny Mercer-Hoagy Carmichael gem Skylark, and a beautiful rendition of the Romanian folksong Mocirita, with inspired solos by Oh, Gould and Cheung. --JazzTimes - Bill Milkowski, August 2012
