5.0 out of 5 stars Keep Copies Everywhere, April 8, 2004
It's a bit of an embarrassment to admit that the thing that has gotten in the way of reviewing this album is that I keep forgetting to review and wind up just listening. All of the musicians at the heart of this album are remarkable. Darol Anger on violin, Mike Marshall on guitar, Michael Manring and Todd Phillips on Bass, Andy Narell on Steel Drums, Barbara Higbie on synth, and even George Marsh on triangle. Some of the best light jazz players of their time (1985), it is immediately apparent that they respect what each has to add to the mix and have a strong commitment to be something else besides 'yet another new age group.'

Darol Anger needs no introduction. 'Dolphins' and 'Spring Gesture' are hallmark tunes, that get a lot of airtime and inclusion in other collections. Mike Marshall is no slouch either, comfortable trading lines with Anger or stepping out for a short moment of Bach just to show off. These to are regular playing partners and have the entire Windham Hill stable of artists to draw one. This makes the player lists on their albums a catalog of wizardry. As I've already demonstrated, Chiaroscuro is no exception to that rule.

So the next time you are feeling that New Age music is a little to spacey, and that light jazz has vaporized, grab this album and give a listen. This is fun, showing off, and everything from Bach to blues in the blinking of an eye. And not by rote, but with every bit of imagination that they can muster. Anger and Marshall playing 'Piacenza' is something that needs to be experience at least once in every life. Trust me, this album is one of the reasons you have a shelf right next to your CD Player.

5.0 out of 5 stars Music to heal the soul, December 8, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Very few albums have had such an impact on my life. This album because every cut evokes a mood that is so deep that it moves through my body releasing energy and relaxing me. It appears that at the time of this review that this album is out of print...so committing to it will involve a little cash, well worth it. An earlier review mentioned the artists, this review is about what the music can do to the soul. Highly recommended!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Six stars, at least, October 4, 2006
By Kate Halleron "Kate" (Newport, OR United States) - See all my reviews
I bought this CD when in first came out in 1985. 20-odd years later, I'm still listening to it. There has not been a time when this album was not in rotation on my player. There isn't any other album I can say that about. It's good, it's still good, it never stales.
