foregrounds of solo acoustic improvisation on pre-composed electronic backgrounds

“My first listen, and I’m already enchanted! Simple but intimate electronic backgrounds woven by chris, against which play a variety of folks and instruments… I was most impressed with the lead-in tune, in which Stephen Crowe plays his flugelhorn against a slow-moving suspension in the back! Highly recommended…” Improvijazzation Nation #6 Fall 1992

“[Paintings] is really incredible, especially the contrabass piece. I will be playing the entire cassette on next Monday evening’s program. I’m sure that the listeners will like this one every bit as much as they have enjoyed your previous releases!” Ben Kettlewell WOMR
