Reviews
"Most of the pieces on Embracing the Wind
are upbeat and sunny, but my favorite is "Childhood
Remembered," which is melancholy and nostalgic.
Joining Kern on this track is Bay Area violinist
Jeremy Cohen, whose heart-tugging solo clearly
demonstrates why synth strings will never replace
the beauty and poignancy of the real thing. Guitarist
Davis Ramey joins Kern on "Through Your Eyes"
(another favorite!), "Bathed in Dawn’s’"and
"A Secret Grove." Some of the other
highlights include the opening track "Blossom
On the Wind" which, as the title implies,
gently floats and glides. "Above theClouds"
is very spare, but gorgeous - it reminds me a
bit of some of Yanni’s minimalist pieces
with synth and piano. "Fantasia’s Lullaby"
is also very lovely, filled with the warmth and
joy of a new life. "A Gentle Whisper"
is a peaceful closing to an album that could easily
be compared to a watercolor painting - washes
of many colors without hard edges or defining
lines."
~ Kathy Parsons, Solo Piano Publications
"Soft, inviting original piano pieces set
against a background of gentle guitar and symphonic
ambience creates an uplifting mood that instantly
sweeps listeners away."
